Opinions on things that are correct

[lexluth0r]

So, I need some opinions on this. I understand that little things, like (in C++) naming private member function with lowercase letters, is a good idea. I understand with my brain, but I really don't want to do it.

I've been programming for 18 goddamn years, and I've got an established habit of writing code like:

///
// Actually create

Re: Conventions

Thanks. That's generally been my theory. Style changes for me too, but very slowly. I'd love to call that consistancy, but I'm probably just getting old.

I would agree with consistency to a certain degree, if there is better way to code/name convention give it a look with an open mind. Some programmers can become very hostile about their code almost as though it came out of their womb.

Computer science is constantly evolving, the last thing you need is to be static.

On a side note about naming conventions, I had the pleasure of working with an awesome programmer with my previous job at Integra. One of his naming conventions that I borrowed is placing "raw" or "cooked" at the tail end of data file that would be processed. "AddressCollectionRaw" or "AddressCollectionCooked." A few hated it, but it worked for me and I adapted.
