Sure, it might be, I'm not saying it isn't. All I'm saying is: the screenshot shows the code someone wrote to download the images. It's not part of the Tea codebase.

They're also not using requests very efficiently, so who knows.

There's nothing wrong with manually breaking a loop.

There's nothing wrong with eating a banana with a knife and fork, either.

Except living with the shame.

Well these people probably don't wash their hands so knife fork is the most sanitary way.

An infinite loop used to be such a rank code smell back when I was a junior, specifically because I was a noob and made giant loops like 50 lines long and invariably didn't plan the exit condition right, and then my computer would lock up and I would have to hard power cycle.

But yeah, now it's it's a totally acceptable little pattern imho.
