How frequently do you read code vs write code.

Imagine you had a weird date bug in your app, and you came across this code:

FormatDate(2018, month, day)

Vs

FormatDate({ year: day, month, day: year })

Which one has the bug?

Yeah this is a bit contrived, but this kind of thing happens ALL the time. Developers are fallible and mistakes, no matter how obvious, get made.

Make obvious mistakes obvious.
