    Big endiant is great for intellisense to quickly browse possibilities, since it groups it all in the same place.

    If only someone would train a program… we could call it a Large Language Model… to knowingly group the names together so we wouldn’t have to choose between human-readable format or dB format.

    Guess that will never happen because instead we’re stuck using “AI’s” to inflate stock prices instead. /s

    I remember seeing a proposed language that would allow each programmer to choose what name to use for each item. Don’t like ‘open_file’? Choose to see it as ‘file_open’ every time you review the file in the future.

    While we battle with each other endlessly, we keep forgetting that the computer doesn’t care.
