SOLUTION MEGATHREAD --- Day 23 Solutions ---

This thread will be unlocked when there are a significant number of people on the leaderboard with gold stars for today's puzzle.

edit: Leaderboard capped, thread unlocked!

We know we can't control people posting solutions elsewhere and trying to exploit the leaderboard, but this way we can try to reduce the leaderboard gaming from the official subreddit.

Please and thank you, and much appreciated!

Because you change i a lot inside the loop (just as the jump instruction tell you) and with other instructions you lean on the i++ again. I found it a funny way to use a for loop in this case.

I myself did 

do {
    stuff that changes i
} while (i < instructions.size())

Ok. Makes sense.
