In my first job as part-time programmer at a bank back in 89, we were developing a large system in C, pretty advanced stuff compared to the usual 'buy from IBM' approach at the time. The 'systems analyst' broke down the design into modules and functions for the entire system, and everything was named something like 'ABM10EI00405'. Yeah, those were the actual names we had to use for .c files and functions.
