I'm wrestling with this at work right now and the short names don't really bother me as they are right in that the fact that if you have the type the shorter name can make the code easier to read slightly. What annoyed me is that for those single letter names I always got collisions so my naming was inconsistent. I personally ended up doing medium length names (like conf) except for the case where there was only 1 local variable (and sometimes if there were two or three) because in that case there were no collisions and what that variable was is very very clear
