When you start writing a code and find yourself overusing conditional/if statements inefficiently, making your code long, messy and unreadable. This strategy is often used by people new to coding, or people that have not planned out how they will write their program. In addition to spamming if statements, if-coders also often do not follow the rules of object oriented programming. They will often only have one class file and will include all of the code for the objects they could have made in that class, resulting in a (very) long code that is hard to read and hard to expand off of, which often leads to code abandonment.
Example 1*
Person 1: Last night I was making a pretty cool game, but I found myself if-coding, and I had to abandon it.
Person 2: Oh wow that's gotta suck.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example 2*
New Coder: Hey check out this cool game I made!
Experienced Coder: This is a big piece of if-code. Your game sucks.
New Coder: Well my mom thought it was pretty cool...

"I hated that I had to call 911 before my flight out of JFK on this white dude that was spewing anti-blk slurs today. I ended up knocking his ass out & another white lady saw the entire thing fold."
"Wow wtf , so what happened?"
"The officers came swiftly, both of whom were white & as they are getting out the vehicle the white lady starting pointing at me. She said I accosted the entire thing first by hitting the man in his face, that the victim was her "nephew" & that I even robbed him. I was detained for about 2 hrs until 5-0 cleared everything up therefore missing my flight."
"Damn ,sound like the officers got on code with the white woman first instead actually reviewing evidence first. Let me know if you need me to tip in on your missed flight smh."
