Not the worst thing in the world. I have trouble reading code with very long identifiers. Conventionally, a line of code should not exceed 80 characters or so.

Not the worst thing in the world. I have trouble reading code with very long identifiers. Conventionally, a line of code should not exceed 80 characters or so. That's pretty hard if identifers are 60+ characters by themselves. If your project has standard abbreviations for things, "63 characters ought to be enough for anybody"
- majewsky 8y agoI had a project last year where DB names were autogenerated per tenant, with the tenant ID being a UUID, so you're left with 63-36=27 characters. Starts to feel narrow. (Putting tenant_id as a column was not an option because for each tenant, a third-party software was started that wanted to have its own DB.)
