I never liked those "if" statements! "IF"? Why is there an "if"? It implies you're uncertain, or have hesitations, doubts even? That's rookie shit. I never do. Straight and happy path for this cowboy, always.

If you have conditionals in your program, it means that you're trying to do too many things at once. Follow the UNIX philosophy: do one thing, and do it well!

And always run every program and always pass every option! Do everything well!

No branches if you movfuscate[1] your code! You do end up with that happy path, that straight path, that clean path that's wholly immune to those pesky branching bugs.

A for loop also is an implicit branch, by the way. At least it will be compiled to something with a conditional jump.

So being unsure about how many times you want to do a thing is a no-go too.

Not if it's a known constant trip count, then you can fully unroll it. No more branches!

If the trip count isn't known at compile time? You should find out.

Yeah, who uses those?

I like how this comment is a branch.
