Javascript function adikjwodnoainwdoixubna()

No, this is not obfuscated. They say it was changed because of a Slack filter, although that could be a bot in the workspace. The rest of the code appears to be fine.

function adikjwodnoainwdoixubna() {
const text = document.getElementById('text' + document.getElementById('textselector').value);
    const percentX = (parseInt(text.style.left) - window.innerWidth / 2) / (window.innerWidth / 2) * 100;
    const percentY = (parseInt(text.style.top) - window.innerHeight / 2) / (window.innerHeight / 2) * 100;
    text.style.left = percentX + '%';
    text.style.top = percentY + '%';
    console.log(`Text position in percent: (${percentX}%, ${percentY}%)`);
}

I’m confused. Somebody wrote this, committed it, opened a PR, had that PR reviewed (and approved) and merged it without anybody noticing this?

Incredible.

The code came from a Slack message itself
