There's nothing wrong with eating a banana with a knife and fork, either.

Except living with the shame.

An infinite loop used to be such a rank code smell back when I was a junior, specifically because I was a noob and made giant loops like 50 lines long and invariably didn't plan the exit condition right, and then my computer would lock up and I would have to hard power cycle.

But yeah, now it's it's a totally acceptable little pattern imho.
