Could you recommend any open source projects which demonstrate good code UX as you describe? I would like to read through some such source code.

- ed25519FUUU 5y agoI’m willing to bet that descriptive names is a red herring, and the real difference in code quality were engineers who cared enough to review for such things.
- obviouslynotme 5y agoHaving worked on a pre-Fortran77 code base, names are a big fucking deal. Half the code was written before variable names could be longer than six characters. The pendulum is swinging back from the overreaction to that, Java's famous AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean. As awful as that name is, I will take it any day over L(IH+GV).
- hmsimha 5y agoNot OP, but I would recommend backboneJS[1] or underscore[2]: [1]https://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html [2]https://underscorejs.org/docs/underscore-esm.html
- Too 5y agoThe .NET framework is fantastic at this, you don't even need the underlying code, usually just the function signatures and Visual Studio autocompletion allows you to guess your way into finding the right classes and functions. Everything has long descriptive names (without the AbstractProxyFactory bloat from Java), follows conventions, arranged in a logical hierarchy and ample documentation available in intellisense.
