I worked with a developer who insisted on using the shortest names possible. God I hated debugging his code.

I’m talking variable names like AAxynj. Everything looking like matrix math.

At a previous job I had to work with an old database where all the tables and columns had 6-character names

Same. Old DB2 base from the 80's that was migrated to Oracle in the 90's then to Postgres in the 2010's.

And the people there know all the column names by heart 😅
