Comment on Why Naming Variables Can Distinguish a Good Programmer from a Bad One

After 25 minutes

[Some thoughts]

+ If you believe you understand something complex after twenty-five minutes, your belief is probably unfounded.

+ A naming system can make sense to some people and no sense at all to others...for example, naming in Norwegian or applying an established naming convention.

+ Externally established budgets and deadlines and project briefs are what separates engineering from hobbies. In so far as programming is engineering, these establish what-is-good.
