is it bad to use instance[] instead of using instance:FindFirstChild() ?
nope, it's actually faster
it's just not consistent
cause an instance is not a table
but it pretty much behaves like one, specifically a dictionary
so no, it's not bad but stick to a single style across the codebase
often I see newbies mixing dot, . syntax with find first chid/Wait for child and brackets []

yeah i always use . for instances that already exist and findfirstchild for ones with specific names(player.Name.."' house" for example)

in terms of what
look up
FFC is gonna iterate the array of children
while [] is a direct index
which is O(1)
you cannot get faster than that

thats cool
