as someone who works on a large c++ project, I disagree, mainly just because it can take a long time for intellisense to actually jump me to the definition. there are also many ways intellisense can get confused and present me with a page of 100 similar function definitions that I need to scroll through. few things break my concentration like waiting 10+ seconds for intellisense to decide whether it's actually going to be able to jump me to the definition. imo, functions and variables should be named in such a way that the reader can get a pretty good idea of what's going on without jumping into a bunch of other scopes. try not to make them too long, but err on the side of too long rather than too short.
