Why are these "hipster hacks"? They're really important language features everyone should be using.

Side note: has anybody ever had to actually swap variables in production code? I thought it was just a fizzbuzz interview question.

I did that today to swap the content of two plain objects without altering the references.

It was in Lua but I'll probably to that in JS too tomorrow.

The "hipster hacks" are things you not necessarily use but are fun things to try. Some of these are for fun (like #1) and others (like #2) are day to day life-savers.

Indeed the swap variables is a fun fact.
