I've seen bugs introduced when people use pre or post ++ at the wrong time.

I agree with you on making code readable. Years ago I encountered a line of code written by a guy -- it was doing some sort of math but had around 10 different operators in one line including bit and math operators and was impossible to understand. And this was in production software that a team of people had to maintain.

Even something as simple as always using parentheses to establish precendence instead of relying on operator precendence makes code much more understandable.
