Maybe they think

return false;

Means it won't return, just carry on with the method? 😋

But you could use that ;)

Just add a label and a goto ...

Those people are called "users" not "co-workers" ... peers know how to write functions.

Sometimes I do that for debugging when I want a whole lot of a function skipped.

Maybe they just forgot to undo it.

Sometimes I like to mess with people
function getVal() {
return this.value;
while(true) {
console.log("ahahaha");
}
}

@calmyourtities yes kinda like that usually keep it from running some really long data logic... Though it didn't take forever, just close to it

Calm down people. Maybe his co-workers are in the sales or marketing team. He didn't specify that they were programmers.

Depends, but yes typically if it's in the main body of a function it's all useless. How did they even get a job?

I guess in JavaScript it is possible to write code after a Return Statement?

I accidentally once wrote "return" instead of "break".

Oh how we laughed/panicked over why data files were only being partially processed.
