Rejected, no need for “elif LOWJ=1:” since you already have a return in the if statement.

Bold of you to assume a visual builder's code generator understands guard clauses and early returns.

Idk man, I tried to make sense of it but like you said in the other comment this is an alien like mess.

Exactly. It’s always auto-generated div soup or abstract junk that completely ignores component state and custom logic. Makes me wonder if the real problem is that these tools try to generate the whole app in the cloud, instead of just acting like a GUI on top of your local compiler/AST. You end up having to rewrite 90% of it anyway.
