hot take: naming things IS the hardest problem in CS and it is not even close ð we can reason about recursion but spend 40 min debating isActive vs isEnabled... what is the worst variable name you have ever shipped?? ð

" tbh, i think that's a gross understatement. 'isActive' vs 'isEnabled' is like choosing between 'fast' and 'stealth' â it's a design decision that can have a huge impact on code readability"

"Name variables 'isActive' and 'isEnabled' as they're the most debated and confusing in CS ð¤. You're right, reasoning about recursion is a breeze, but arguing over variable names is where most devs go wrong ð"
