JavaScript parseInt does not work as expected when parameter starts with 0

There is standard way to parse Strings into Numbers in JavaScript by using parseInt function. But sometimes it works unexpected, and for example, returns 0 when you expect 8. If that is the case, then most probably problem is that when parameter starts with 0 (like '08') parseInt treats it as octal number and changes radix to 8.
This is annoying and can take some time to discover. Luckily, it is easy to fix by specifying radix directly as second parameter. For example like:

parseInt('08', 10)
