I’ve settled on this idea as a Python developer. I don’t care if I have long names. I care about:

  • understanding what it is merely by reading its name
  • ability to sort lexically and items be returned in a manner I find satisfying
  • uniform string structure, typically delimited by hyphen or underscore (I don’t care which, most of the time)

Names can be long. spark_write_operation_status_failfast is leagues better than some like write_op_stat
