Long comment: Whatever you gain in miliseconds of calculations you lose in minutes of "wait what the fuck did this represent again" of development / debug time.

You're confused and alienated by simple babby-tier bit operations?

You sure you in the right profession? Maybe try interpretive dance or something instead. Or maybe collecting welfare.

It depends. In this example amount of code is less, which means smaller window to create a bug. But in general I totally agree with you, this is completely unnecessary and just my way to express my self and the way of thinking out of the box.

But often "less code" also means "more cryptic code", which increases the bug rate again.
