I have worked with someone who used female names for temp variables in the early 2000s. He also kinda saved us by substituting all icons with over the top cute looking ones the night before the demo, which was super efficient at distracting the audience from how disfunctional the application was.
- bemmu 5y agoSame, I was told my predecessor used his girlfriend’s name for temp variables.
- SlowAndCalm 5y agoI use a random group of words as variable, etc. names when I can't think of them fast enough to stay in the flow. I find it easy to remember what each one does, and can go back and rename them to more reasonable things before doing a commit. It only takes missing one inexplicably named 'deodorant' variable, for me to want to sink into the depths of the Earth at the thought of people thinking I'm one of these eccentrics.
