Juniors look at this and only see a basic math problem resulting in 90. But platform engineers see a dangerous object mutation anti-pattern that silently de-optimizes V8 engine's Hidden Classes under the hood. What exactly gets printed to the console?

The real danger: Direct mutation breaks immutability, causing untraceable state bugs in modern reactive architectures. For high-throughput engines, deep freezing or pure immutable structures are non-negotiable to prevent layout shifts.

Hot take: If your production codebase still allows unchecked in-place mutations on domain entities without strict boundaries, you are running an organized mess. Immutability is not a preference; it is infrastructure safety. Do you tolerate this in code reviews, Tech Leads?
