Erik OnarheimHOST
I've started doing this a lot.
Erik OnarheimHOST
So like, I'll be like, I'll do, I'll do a little bit of Hungarian notation, but I'll do like T result or T this, this type, you know, just give like a little bit of a description about what I'm expecting here.
Kamran AyubHOST
That was always a, a coding style that we used at work when we did C sharp.
Kamran AyubHOST
Cause she like, that's when I first encountered generics with some C sharp.
Christina ReeserGUEST
... for a first name.
Christina ReeserGUEST
We were using, uh, type-hinted Hungarian notation, which is a lot of fun to say.
Michael FerrariHOST
Excuse me?
Christina ReeserGUEST
Yes.
Michael FerrariHOST
Why? [chuckles]
Christina ReeserGUEST
Again, perfectly, a perfect, a better s- we, we, we used, let me be more specific, PSR-12 Hungarian notation.
Christina ReeserGUEST
Um, a perfectly-
Michael FerrariHOST
Makes perfect sense
Josh AndersonHOST
... like, what, what's the right...
Josh AndersonHOST

Josh AndersonHOST
So do you see people leaning into that within your organization?
Rob ZuberGUEST

Or like if you think about it as like a wave moving through the organization as some people are accelerating rapidly and others are not so sure and kind of like waiting for the, I wouldn't say at this point the jury's out, but like, you know, we, we've been through a lot of different cycles.
Rob ZuberGUEST
That's a real point of friction, right? Is I put, I show up in your repo and I'm like, "Hey, I needed this, so I just built it." And you're like, "No, no, we use Hungarian notation here." And you're like, "No, you don't.
Rob ZuberGUEST
Like, wh- why would we do that? Like, come on, get on board." You know what I mean? And like that, that's kind of it.
David HillHOST
Oh, okay
Obie FernandezGUEST
... and invented Hungarian notation.
Obie FernandezGUEST
He was, like, one of the founders or something at Microsoft.
David HillHOST
Okay.
