Sure I had an older dev do bit masking for a list of 3 options in javascript because he was used to old terminals.

Its something different coming in and changing things here and there but rewriting the hole thing on a weekend is something different.

I was very impressed with vBulletin’s use of bitmasking for permissions (of which there were many possible combinations) when I first encountered it.

Would love an excuse to use it, but one has not come up in like 15 years since, hah.
