It makes no sense:
1 - There are combinations not covered by the encoder. ie Alarm | Malfunction
2 - It only makes sense to encode it if whatever is using does not support integers (or maybe it's meant to have a meaningful representation on a digital display, still what if it's alarming and malfunctioning).
3 - Should have used enum's HasFlag method.
Now, an expert in C# and 25+ years in programming could only do this if he's hung over, lazy, dumb or having an idea so bright nobody can understand.

I learned decades ago that its a fool errand to insult the previous developer(s), especially if one was not there participating in the decision making process. There are a multitude of factors and/or external forces that impact decisions like this and arrogantly criticizing these choices accomplishes little.

I agree with you.
I know the guy who wrote that code, and the circumstances: it's fresh code written this week.
Some time ago, I discussed with him his obsession of encoding everything in magical ints or one-letter-strings, sometimes also providing "endode"/"decode" functions for converting between the magical ints and the one-letter-strings and the other way round...

Ignore my previous post.
I used to work with someone like that. He no longer works here. Smart guy, very capable, but continuously made "mistakes" like that. His "code" has caused us lots of grief.

It could have been changed to [Flags] after-the-fact and this code was just not updated.

Open source shines at its best when everyone and their mother has a solution just looking for a problem. Unfortunately, in this case, JavaScript and web development is a real problem.

Marc, as you are always slagging off JavaScript have you had a look at Elm? I've not done much more than watch part of a video but it does look nice on first impressions. But it's early days and may disappear into obscurity perhaps.

Just walked through their various tutorials and tested out a partial application. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif) Cool stuff, and I like that you can take bring it in in small steps rather than having to do a full rewrite. I'll will definitely give it a try.
Thanks for the link!

I discovered it by chance when it was mentioned in another video discussing languages in general and one of the pundits kept mentioning Elm, so I thought I'd investigate. I think I'd heard the name before actually. But, as with tech in general, there's so much stuff buzzing around that you can't look into everything. Sometimes I hear something at one point in time and don't look into it until, say, two years later, once enough people are talking about it.
If you have access to a Pluralsight subscription there is an Elm course as well. Though it's easy enough to just play on your own, as you've discovered.

Ah yes, I was aware of that as well - just hadn't explored!
I have dabbled in F# though. If you're not aware F# Weekly – Sergey Tihon's Blog is a good news source for all things F#.

You just have to Gulp your Ember with your Vue and think about your Angular while not forgetting your React.
Meanwhile, let your Grunt Knockout and your Karma Jasmine or Mocha.
Add some jQuery flavor with the Backbone Underscore Meteor.
Then just Babel your Webpack instead of npm and Bower and you're ready to go!
Hope that helped
