To your point on naming, the core of Hungarian Notation's thesis is that you can never get a name right, due to the creeping in of unfounded assumptions due to past experiences with that name, so you're doing more damage by trying. So, create a unique 3/4 letter nonsense tag (and define it), and get on with your life. Once you do this, it's crystal clear where the gaps in your understanding are, since if it looks like gibberish, there's a gap. And when you understand it, believe it or not, it doesn't look like gibberish. (Hungarian as originally defined, ie Apps Hungarian, not the horrible Systems Hungarian that came out of Programming Windows.) It's a powerful yet under-appreciated idea. Of course the proof of the pudding is in the eating and so it does seem Hungarian takes it too far due to it's lack of success stories. But I can't help but think if that thread of an idea were not squished so resolutely that we'd be in a better place than we are now with the problem of naming.
