Code Cleanliness And Organization

or

if(blah)
{
  stuff
}

its totally personal opinion, I call that "noobie expanded" but its dead easy to tell where brackets go when you start battle axe hunting a bug

for example:

int counter = 0;
void setup(){};
void loop()
{
  if(counter < 256)
  {
    for(int i = 0; i < 12; ++i)
    {
      if(i % 2)
      {
        Serial.print("even");
      }
    }
  }
}

find and remove the for loop while leaving the second if, much harder if its in the
}if{blah
}else{

style (IMO)
