Once it's written, I always make the association between 'anospic' and 'average numbers picked' (using that as an example). I try to make the names both human-readable and at least somewhat related (a:average nos:numbers pic:picked).
Keep in mind that I don't do this with client work or anything that might land on the hands of another developer.
- thebooktocome 15y agoYou don't always know from the beginning what's going to land on the hands of another developer, and if something (even a personal project) did shift from you to someone else, you're going to not be very highly incentivized to change things then.
- liotier 15y agoThere is always another developer - even if it is only some future you. When you pick up that piece of code in three years, hoping to improve or reuse some of it, it will take you three minutes to remember what "anospic" was supposed to mean...
