Big if true

Picture of a computer monitor showing a text editor with the code "if true {}". The font size is so big the code takes most of the width of the monitor.

come the fuck on

string bigIfTrue(Boolean size)
{
    string toAssign = '';
    if (size == true)
    {
        toAssign = 'big';
    }
    else
    {
        toAssign = 'small';
    }
    return toAssign;
}

So very wrong.

"big" != "Big"
