Functionally equivalent, the compiler will optimize lots for you. As the programmer, your focus should be on whether that variable is relevant to the loop's scope exclusively or not (i.e. if you need to access the variable after the loop has modified it). If not, keep it in the loop so that its easier to read your code.
I'm gonna make a slightly different take that isn't centered around work. Productivity in general is a really good trait that should be encouraged. I am a much more fulfilled and happy person having been productive throughout my day like working on personal projects, going on a run, reading a book, cleaning my apartment, etc. IMO there is a lot of wasted time in social media, bingeing shows, etc. that doesnt really fulfill me. Not saying these things are bad, just that if I'm not productive I fill my time with things which really don't matter. There are a lot of really awesome things out there that epitomize the phrase "labor of love".
Obviously, have some self respect and don't destroy yourself for the sake of productivity especially when its for someone else.

Omg the amount of times I've clicked on a Medium article in the last month and immediately knew it was AI is so frustrating!!!! They aren't even helpful articles because you can tell there is no real understanding.
Yes, but according to that same article, "49% of the SSNs exposed don’t include the minimum quality to pose a risk for identity attacks". So it's more like 136 million.
This comment, hell this whole thread, is enormously insightful and productive. It feels like a genuine discussion of men's issues that isn't on the offensive as it often feels when masculinity is the topic. Thank you and all commenters like you who took the time to make a good point.
I'm not sure why this is a thing more men do, but I can't agree more. Generally, I associate this kind of behavior with poor emotional intelligence so good advice for literally any kind of relationship with anyone.
You will always have to interact with these company's servers at some point. Stay in control, but don't obsess. What matters is getting further away. You have succeeded in many ways by taking these steps. Do not lose sight of that.
Why would making government more proprietary help?
