Below are the most common mistakes programmers make when naming variables and functions in their code. These examples are taken from the projects of Hexlet students. I use JavaScript for demonstration purposes only because it is the most universal language, so the examples have nothing to do with the language being used. These mistakes are found everywhere in equal proportions.
What is the most difficult part of being a programmer? Naming variables.
