For-Loop Incrementing Styles

Incrementing variables in for-loops i++ - overused - nonsensical - imbalanced i-=--1 - hipster - expressive - symmetric

A programming-themed screenshot contrasts the common i++ increment with the unusual i-=--1 form. The joke is that both expressions increment a variable by one, but the second is presented as a pretentious, expressive, and symmetric alternative to an overused and supposedly nonsensical style. It is sent as a reaction to unnecessarily clever or unconventional code. EN: A programming-themed screenshot contrasts the common i++ increment with the unusual i-=--1 form.
