    My advice: use descriptive variable names.

    The article is really not about naming conventions.

      Should have still used them. It was harder to read this way.

        Agreed that some people can find it easier with explicit names - however some people find it easier with short meaningless names as it makes them focus on the abstraction rather than the naming. There is no right or wrong here. It all depends on the reader.

        I even thought that this (hardness) was intended to emphasize the way it’s hard to spot problems in real codebase 😅

      Doesn’t matter, it’s hard to read an article. If it were hard to read for another reason like bad grammar, I’d comment on that too 🤷
