Ask HN: Is hungarian notation still around?
2 by f1shy | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I work in a big company, we write "mission critical" software. And many people (at least 90%) want to use hungarian notation. Because management also likes it, we MUST. The variety of notation used is prefix_NameInCamelCase_sufix where prefix is the use of the variable (like Systems hungarian) 2 to 4 chars, then the name, which typically is 4 to 6 characters, and a sufix, 2 to 4 characters, the type. I get frustrated trying to advocate for not using it anymore. Do you have such experience. Are you for hungarian notation? change my mind?!
