Re:MS Teams channels cannot contain MS-DOS device names by prepend on Thursday August 10, 2023 @12:23PM (#37078202)
Me too, I prefer function names like “assert_that_one_plus_one_is_return_always_two_and_never_five.”

All kidding aside, but I gave up on this argument because I think people either get it or don’t and aside from trying a little conversation or something with guidance it’s a “can’t fix stupid” situation.

People usually want to explain why it’s so important and that’s worse than suffering their long function name.

I think it’s better to just accept ridiculous than to try to get consensus on what’s ridiculous and a spiral of wasted time.

The upside is that it doesn’t matter any more since long function names are supported and work. And autocomplete means it’s just as easy to use as “ATOPOIRA” or whatever madness they would name it with some restrictions.
