I have used constructs like this in debugging / exploration phases (especially in languages without good debuggers, when print debugging is unavoidable or just faster). I'd be horribly embarrassed if they got committed. But... the snippet you posted isn't equivalent to a comment; `x or false` is equivalent to `x`. So it's actually equivalent to a commented-out short-circuit

    if (my_var == 'some value' || true == false) { ... } //if (my_var == 'some value') { ... }

    if (my_var == 'some value' || true == true) { ... } //if (true) { ... }

    if (my_var == 'some value' && true == false) { ... } //if (false) { ... }

That said... I would never use the comparisons `true == true` and `true == false`... that's just silly
