Thief way is actually the best among all of these imo, in terms of readability and efficiency.

They’re setting a variable to a function. Just use the original function. All thief does is obfuscate for literally no gain except character count.

I presumed it to be a standin for just directly using Math.max, since there's no nice way to show that in a valid code snippet

[-] snowe@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

well it's called Thief. They're stealing the function and making it look like they wrote it. hence max1.

Yeah, that's my reading as well.
