Blimey - I was just talking out of my arse, I know nothing about physics and didn't expect such a well thought out response.
Thanks!

Your signature quote by Christopher Hitchens is Physics and the truth.
Your arse speaks fine.

A Gas-tronomical question if ever there was one!
But nacho fast: this begs the complimentary question: is a burrito a corn chip shivering from cold?

Halp! I've become a slave to naming and style guidelines.
Years of C++ development and years of development prior to advanced compilers and syntax highlighting and intellisense and doc-comments and all of that made me a fascist about it.
To the point where I judge people for not following, say, MS naming and style guidelines for .NET when building C# apps.
To the point where I usually kick myself for not putting constants before vars in equality comparisons if(0==foo), etc.
I already smoke pot (it's legal here) so how do I loosen up? Y'all don't need my judgment.
Nor do any fellow devs. And I need to be able to use other people's code without feeling a little sick about it, or wanting to refactor it before I touch it.
I'm half serious about this post.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

your style sucks, so does mine, oh and that bloke over there: his style sucks too.
each to their own.
If style is an issue you've got a lot more growing up to do.

Except for 1TB - that's ALWAYS wrong.

Is that 1TB or 1TiB?

All coding styles suck. But it's important that everyone in a project is using the same general style to keep the code readable. When available I prefer platform standards/IDE autoformat defaults. (And yes that means I use different brace placement styles in C# and Java.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I like standards. I'm button-down that way.

There is only one (sensible) standard:
The code can be read by another programmer without needing a decoder-ring - consistent with it's own standards and the intent of being informative to not only ones self, but with others who cares to look at the code.
Consider that, even for a given language, a different type of project can be best served by code that is emphasizes its constructs as plainly (and maintainable) as possible.
Also, if it's VB6, just chop off their hands.

all true, and yet the unsensible is perhaps underrated.
some of the most inspirational bouts of coding I've had have left me with something I couldn't understand later.
not that I appreciate that entirely. it is what it is.
but yeah, I at least try to make the function names clean if it comes down to that.
plus, have you ever noticed how sometimes, code as it matures can get a bunch of weird forks in its codepath to handle one-offs and bugs, sometimes in other systems its interacting with, and so the simplest, cleanest solution doesn't work in the real world.
The truth is, I distrust all of this. It makes me uneasy. But it's a reality.
The best one can hope for in those situations is to keep the interfaces as clean as possible, comment what you can, especially the corner cases, and wave a dead chicken over the whole thing.
And that's perhaps where software breaks from engineering into art.

Orders of magnitude more valuable than wasting mind and body on some OCD organization of symbol and function names.
Rule-makers aren't sitting with you seeing the problems you need to solve.
If you've ever built a database then you may have come to a time where normalization just isn't the best choice - you break it in a strategic spot for simplicity and efficient execution. The basic rule of thumb: do it the best way you can.
