I, on the other hand, had to fix a production problem that using “or”
introducted.
I avoid this idiom because it fails on falsy values.
Me too. It's just too fragile. When writing code you're going to need an
alternative for cases where "config.get('source_name') or default_value"
doesn't work correctly; much better to use that alternative for all cases.
Trying to remember when I've used it, that was probably on personal code
where I had a good idea what the values could be. Otherwise, I'm in
agreement.
