This seems flawed, when I look to name something, one of the most key things is what other things are named in that context, and patterns and consistency between them.
It appears the study described a problem, instead of putting them in preexisting code?
- karmakaze 6y agoThis is a actually the way I name important things. There's even a 4th step: Choose only a few of the important or distinguishing concepts to include in the name. For examples in a database model you end up with x_y_z_name_id because of relations on relations, that might get reduced to y_z_name or x_z_name, dropping the part that is of widest/implicit context.
