How does "foo" mean "get"? Half the battle of writing correct code is writing code that's easy to interpret. Do you always look at the guts of every function you're about to use?

Don't know but copyright holders have demonstrated a few cases where they got AI to blatantly rip off copyrighted pictures or music.
Another ridiculous policy I've seen (many years ago) is logging in too fast. I used to get locked out of my banks website all the time and I used autotype with KeePass so I was baffled when it wouldn't get accepted. Eventually I had a thought to slow down the typing mechanism and suddenly I didn't get locked out anymore.
I'm highly considering this as a daily driver. Docs need a bit more organization and not sure how big the community is but it checks a lot of boxes for me.
It's a good read (or listen if you're into audiobooks) but it's also easy to find the main points summarized.
branching ≠ if ≠ conditional
They're all related but can't just be used interchangeably. "if" is a reserved keyword to indicate a specific syntax is expected. It's not the semantics the author was trying to change, it's the syntax, and the overall point is that you aren't always required to use the specific "if" syntax to write code just like you're not required to use "while" to achieve looping.
What's the purpose of foo? Why an ambiguous single character variable? What if the property was there but the value was null? Why not use (assuming JS) optional chaining?
I'd approach it more like this:
function getWhatevrProp(userData) (
const default = { whatevr: "n/a" };
return { ...default, ...userData }.whatevr;
}
Sorry, read too fast the first time. It's more likely Python. I also don't know Python well enough to give recommendations on that.
Always love seeing the trope:
*writes awful code*
See! This is why this language sucks!
Usually it doesn't solve my problems but it gives me a few places to start looking. I know some models are capable of this but to get a perfectly accurate and useful response would probably require it to recall a specific piece of input it was given and not just an "average" of the inputs.
If you're into short stories the Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury is a good one.
And while I didn't read much Issac Asimov myself my wife, who loves reading but dislikes sci-fi, read one of his books (Foundation) in a day and said he's an excellent writer.
To each their own. Some won't like the repeating code and some won't like the distributed logic (i.e. you have to read every if and if-else statement to know when the else takes effect). I think the use of booleans like isDriverClose makes the repeated logic less messy and reduces inefficiency (if the compiler didn't optimize for you).

Fucking deplorable.
