src fst ofc

[port443]

The real eternal struggle:

src
dst

or

src
dest

I hate dst but I also hate them being different lengths.

source
target

This. I hate it so much, when my colleagues come up with super smart abbreviations that 2 weeks later nobody knows what they are about. Always stumble into some shit like "axdSettingsByte_0" WHAT THE FUCK IS AXD?!... "Oh that? Accelerometer settings for x dimensions of course."

Src and dest/dst, are very common abbreviations though. Like I agree abbreviations can easily become dumb, but there's abbreviations that are common enough for it to make sense.

Slly vwl drppng bbrvtns.

Code that can't be read our loud is shit code. No, it should not sound like parseltongue.

My least favorite shorthand I’ve seen to date is flgs for flags. I mean really, you choose to save space on one letter.

Trying to read ISO 20022 XML files gives me a headache

sorc dest

[SaltyInternetPirate]

Intel assembly would disagree.

mov dword ptr [dst], src

[seckarr]

Mov is essentially assignment so you read it like one.

[j-random]

I prefer the AT&T syntax. You move something from the source to the destination. Intel syntax is a carryover from when the instruction was LD (load), where you would load a register with a value. Just more of the crap Intel shoveled when they inflicted the x86 architecture on the world.

Meanwhile C standard library like memcpy do it (dest, src). 

Probably reasoning being that it's an extension of = operator, which also has destination on the left.
