TTFeb: Coding pet peeves

momijizukamori prompted: Coding pet peeves

 

I don't really have strong or verbose opinions on this, but it might be bad variable names. Because unlike poorly documented or unreadable code, which are problems that take effort and time to fix, the really bad variable names could be fixed by like, one second of thought?? 'Purple' is a terribly unhelpful name! Something that hints towards the purpose of the variable while disambiguating it from similar variables, please. 

 

A close second might be people who refuse to use functions and all their code is one enormous serial chunk.

I honestly think I have coding language pet peeves more than coding pet peeves...
