Totally agree. Sometimes its just easier to understand what something is by understanding what it was.

Functionally equivalent, the compiler will optimize lots for you. As the programmer, your focus should be on whether that variable is relevant to the loop’s scope exclusively or not (i.e. if you need to access the variable after the loop has modified it). If not, keep it in the loop so that its easier to read your code.

I’m gonna make a slightly different take that isn’t centered around work. Productivity in general is a really good trait that should be encouraged. I am a much more fulfilled and happy person having been productive throughout my day like working on personal projects, going on a run, reading a book, cleaning my apartment, etc. IMO there is a lot of wasted time in social media, bingeing shows, etc. that doesnt really fulfill me. Not saying these things are bad, just that if I’m not productive I fill my time with things which really don’t matter. There are a lot of really awesome things out there that epitomize the phrase “labor of love”.

Obviously, have some self respect and don’t destroy yourself for the sake of productivity especially when its for someone else.

At least stand by your principle in the same post. Consumerism is bad, therefore everyone should celebrate Christmas without buying a bunch of things. “For the kids” seems like a random concession to your strong belief.

I understand the argument, but consider that Red Hat is a huge contributor to more than just RHEL. The biggest contributors to the projects you know and love like Libreoffice, gnome, and Wayland are from people being payed by companies like red hat. I can understand why people disagree with their choice, but when this company profits, they don’t just make RHEL better and support everything dependent on it, they make Linux software better.
