Be careful running that loop he wrote...

Just a heads up to all you other "curious to a fault" developers out there;

DO NOT write the same type of test() for loop he writes in your own browser using large numbers (at least on an older computer). You will crash. hard.

I ran it as ...if (i == 1000000000000000) { ...

As soon as I hit enter, it felt like an ancient JavaScript Jedi reached through space and time to grab me by the should and whisper in my ear "You fool....". I immediately regretted my decision.

The longer the function ran, the worse it got. Not in seconds, but milliseconds. Like a black hole of resource consumption. I had to restart the OS entirely for it to end.

Be smarter than me. friends.
