No, no, no, noooooo! – A Modern Hungarian Notation – Pixplicity
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/24
Some people still don’t get it:
We like to keep our code organized for readability, and use Hungarian Notation as prefixes where they clarify the purpose of a variable.

My opinion on this:
- Don’t abbreviate. There is code completion for a reason.
- Put technical meanings at the end and functional meanings at the start of identifiers: software development is about functional stuff, not about technical stuff as the latter changes way faster than the former.
- You might consider using prefixes for arguments, local variables, instance variables and such, but often that works against you while refactoring stuff.
Been there, done that (;
