A Rose By Any Other Name

A Rose By Any Other Name

In all my time thinking about how naming is hard, I’ve never come across a concise set of practical suggestions for choosing variable names in software. Until now. I’ve used the A/HC/LC Pattern my whole career, but never had a term for it. Honestly it could use a better name (naming is hard!) but the concept is solid.

There isn’t a single piece of advice in the above that I disagree with, and a few I absolutely love (my goodness do I hate context duplication in namespaced variables).
