For loops

For a for loop it's generally better to use i++ because ++i would just be fucking stupid.

You may as well start counting with 1 to get the same effect.

Exactly, repeatedly reinventing the wheel is expensive, so experts should take time to study the general case and make it practically optimal. Maybe software isn't as stringent because it's more malleable (i.e. it's physically easy and usually inexpensive to fix problems,) but still new layers are made and refined as needed.
