Does anyone else get really irritated when they encounter

i = i + 1

It's the same weird feeling as encountering something like:

bool isActive;
if (isActive)
return true;
else
return false;

In JS there are problems with ++ though, due to automatic semocolon insertion. You can still use += 1 though.

@fox8091 still can do += 1

When my university lecturer and his assistant who is a master's cs student does that.i silently get pissed

Makes my shit itch when I see i = i + 1
I also never use interpreted languages, so I don't really know much about JS problems with pre- or post-incrementing.
But on group collaborations, I always try to marginalize the guys who use i = i + 1

@moshmage we know the difference, but except when the value of i is used before the increment, they are exactly the same in practice, so we don't care

I'm used to doing this but only because I used to work in a language where i++ doesn't work

@dandel10n
if (isActive == true)

That's Swift for ya!

Even Assembler has INC option))
What is that language without ++?

@OrestH @dandel10n how about this? :D

switch(isActive)
{
case true:
return true;
break;
case false:
return false;
break;
default:
printf("what?\n");
break;
}

It's worse when the project's linter is set to prefer that syntax over ++, and the lead insists that's how it should be.

@blackmarket what project? Wtf

@magnusi fits as well =D

@OrestH early C didn't have that

@iam13islucky can't tell you exactly but I can say it's codename was Zeus. Good God the jshintrc file was so full. All kinds a of wacky settings. I don't miss that.

@magnusi should I ever encouter this I will check the git logs, walk up to that persons desk, remove the hdmi cable from one screen, shout: "you'll have to earn this" and walk away.

@dandel10n maybe you should remove both the cables, the computer, the developer and the desk because it has all been contaminated 😀

@magnusi on second thought ... 😂
