I feel the same way. This limitation might have made sense in times of teletype, limited variable names and small displays, but that was decades ago! We have powerful IDEs that automatically finish every identifier we write, huge, high-resolution displays and exhaustive online documentation available at all times. I don't see any reason to continue writing code like that: In the comments of every single coding style article posted on HN, people are quick to throw stuff like "code is written once, but read many times" around. Why wouldn't this apply to C or Linux kernel code?
