Re:Tim Bray doesn't know operator precedence rules by smcl on Wednesday June 30, 2010 @05:31AM (#1474318)
I'm 100% with Tim here, I've never felt the need to memorise the order of precendence for operators - as long as I've got my parens I'm happy. Luckily I seem to work with others who feel the same way. If we did have someone insistent on pushing the boundaries of readability I'd spend about a minute looking up the precedence rules then another few weeks framing the perpetrator for some real-life infraction as a form of punishment (depending on the particulars this could range from petty theft all the way through to light to medium treason)

Item #2 of The Zen of Python is my favourite:
