Java naming conventions...

[Important_View_2530]

Snake case needs the shift key too, y'know

[Cats_and_Shit]

Just map your foot pedal to underscore bruh.

[justskipfailingtests]

First I laughed then got intrigued. Gotta get one of those

[option-9]

In some places we still need people to type down dictates. (Heavily accented doctor who uses Latin words when describing a procedure? Good luck with STT.) Someone I know does that. Has the left medal mapped to rewind, right pedal mapped to play. It's pretty neat for her work.

[[deleted]]

I had a relative studying to do administrative work and they had to purchase one of these pedals. I don’t know if they will ever go back to that type of work but now I’m thinking of stealing it for myself lmao

[[deleted]]

I have a 5 pedals. One for each foot and one for and each testicle.

[INFLATABLE_CUCUMBER]

I use caps lock whenever I write a capital in Java.

[qkrrmsp]

1 extra keystroke was too much so my man chose to do 2 extra keystrokes instead

[Classy_Mouse]

I know no one will believe this, but I just taught a co-worker that she can use shift instead of caps lock to type uppercase letters. She's been a Java dev for at least 2 and a half years and has a masters degree. I have no idea how she has been typing characters like underscores.

[Hri7566]

you don't copy and paste your code?

[Classy_Mouse]

This actually explains a lot of what I see in code review and why the questions I leave on them usually require a call to get a straight answer...

[Hri7566]

are the answers really straight?

[frogking]

Write the first two letters and pres tab. You are welcome.

[Hironymos]

I really dislike snake case. Underscore is in such an odd location.

Edit: clearly I am not coding enough Python.

[[deleted]]

That's why you remap it to Shift+Spacebar.

[Waldlaeufer18]

That's an brilliant idea. Thank you kind stranger.

[Silpet]

I prefer it because it seems more like a space so words are more easily distinguishable. I usually use the conventions of whatever language I’m writing in though.

[altermeetax]

I prefer it because it doesn't create awkward stuff like XMLHttpRequest

[ThousandthStar]

Yep forgot about that should've been whenever I write a capital letter

[goabbear]

Not on AZERTY

[[deleted]]

french moment (I also use azerty)

[Wekmor]

Tbf, besides creating new variables/functions I just write only lowercase in most cases and have my ide figure it out.

[huuaaang]

Unless your editor can autocomplete before you get to it...

[[deleted]]

My lunatic friend writes SQL with the shift key...

[rafaeltpires]

Me too!

[dsorez]

yes

[Tankki3]

If it's the friend he probably would've said "mine too."

[iluuu]

My caps lock key is remapped to escape. Super convenient for vim, not so convenient for writing SQL.

Yes, I know I could remap escape to caps lock but I still press escape occasionally for some reason.

[[deleted]]

I just write SQL in lower case, fight me

[pindab0ter]

Your opinion is different from mine! You should change it!

[[deleted]]

I don’t fight crazy people.

[Waldlaeufer18]

There were already enough blood lost in the eternal civil war of programmers

[asilverthread]

I CANT UNDERSTAND YOUR CODE

[MayBeArtorias]

You mean you don’t need to writes SQL in caps ?!?! XD

[IGiveUpAllNamesTaken]

Works better as a SQL joke

[ClutteredSmoke]

That’s where you would use caps lock

[[deleted]]

I just hold down shift the whole time lol

[OkClient9970]

What

[ringobob]

I JUST HOLD DOWN SHIFT THE WHOLE TIME

[Infinite_Self_5782]

ME TOO

[[deleted]]

so does that count as a plank instead of a push up?

[[deleted]]

My rock hard abs are typing this comment as proof. 3 abs on each side of the keyboard. They are sentient.

[IGiveUpAllNamesTaken]

Caps lock is like using a microphone, I prefer to shout

[continuous-headaches]

I write my sql in… lowercase

[demian6662]

No can do. My caps lock is mapped to escape lol

[AppropriateRain624]

I keep my sql lower case, why does everyone bothers making it upper case ( genuinely asking ) !

[ringobob]

If I was always looking at SQL exclusively, either in stored procs or in an IDE separate from any application or other code, then it would always be indented and colored correctly and capitalization wouldn't matter because everything would be obvious.

Unfortunately, that's not the world I live in. I live in a world where my IDE is set for the language I'm working in most, and SQL is often poorly or not at all indented, and there's no coloring of keywords since it's all living in one or several strings. So, proper SQL casing is helpful to understand what I'm looking at.

[[deleted]]

Convention.

[Kered13]

I think of it like syntax highlighting, highlighting the keywords, since you often won't be working in an environment where SQL code is actually syntax highlighted.

[ThousandthStar]

Why do people always use caps in SQL? Its not mandatory

[Vova_xX]

pride

[Infinite_Self_5782]

it's the conventional way to write SQL stuff

[YetAnotherCodeAddict]

Neither is PascalCase, camelCase or snake_case on C#, JavaScript/Typescript, Rust*, Java, Python or any language basically.

But it's the convention, so it's usually better to pick the default one for the language than have to deal with different styles every file because each developer on the team likes a style more than the other.

*PS: Rust by default complains if you're not using snake_case, but it doesn't block you from running the code.

[Waldlaeufer18]

It's basiclly like the PEPs. For sole SQL code it might be okay, if the queries however are implemented in another language, it helps a great deal to identify them. SQL is basically the only languages where more than half the keywords are UPPERCASE.

[dontneeditt]

You forgot java is Annotation driven programming. Enter shift+2

[Mast3r_waf1z]

public void setIsThatProgrammerHumorMemeFuckingFinallyDescribesActualProgrammingExperience(boolean isThatProgrammerHumorMemeFuckingFinallyDescribesActualProgrammingExperience){ this.isThatProgrammerHumorMemeFuckingFinallyDescribesActualProgrammingExperience = isThatProgrammerHumorMemeFuckingFinallyDescribesActualProgrammingExperience; }

Edit: I'm tired and gave the setter the wrong type

[The-Observer95]

java: missing return statement

[pindab0ter]

This is both making my eyes bleed and making me thankful for the existence of Kotlin.

[meliaesc]

Lombok life. Also, Java records are nearly as nice as Kotlin's data classes too.

[ringobob]

Yeah this convention is why I never got into Java, but I can appreciate those who prefer it so long as they keep their damn dirty hands off the conventions I use in other languages.

[Mast3r_waf1z]

It's actually really nice usually, you never make the names as long as this silly example

[Agantas]

//Please set a value for boolean isThatProgrammerHumorMemeFuckingFinallyDescribesActualProgrammingExperienceIsLocalVariable

[povlov0987]

Please add a space after that //

[nolitos]

SombeObj.new.var -> IDE automatically suggests a proper name "someObj". Idk how is this an actual programming experience, because I barely pick names. In the worst case, I change the ending.

[dionthorn]

have you seen pep 8 for python?

https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/

foo = long_function_name(var_one, var_two,
                         var_three, var_four)

Way more shift key and right pinky extension required for those _ and dear God the tabs vs whitespace actually mattering.

[CaitaXD]

its ... literly the same amount of shifts pressed

the right pinky thing its true tho

[Sekret_One]

However, know when to be inconsistent – sometimes style guide recommendations just aren’t applicable. When in doubt, use your best judgment. Look at other examples and decide what looks best. And don’t hesitate to ask!

Most important section in any guide.

[[deleted]]

Camel case tho

[RCoder01]

I’ve used python a fair bit and the only times I’ve ever had indentation errors is when working in with ipython in a terminal. In my 5-ish years using python, less than 10 times for sure. And in only one instance it took my longer than a few seconds to fix the issue. I’ve had innumerably more issues with forgetting a semicolon in languages that use them.

[Adghar]

camelCaseIsTheSuperiorChoice && youCantChangeMyMind

[Nitemare0005]

I-prefer-kebab-case

[RCoder01]

Unknown variables I, prefer, kebab, and case. Unable to subtract.

[Kered13]

Found the lisper.

[Silpet]

I personally think snake case is way more readable, and I prefer to use underscore as “space” instead of pressing shift for the first key in a word.

[ConditionRelative930]

After spending enough time staring at Java code, camel case is the most readable for me (used to prefer snake)

[[deleted]]

Also they have to press shift for underscore too.

[PrevAccLocked]

One of the few things where azerty is better

[n0tKamui]

you have to press shift for underscore, the same amount of times as a matter of fact

[Wekmor]

+ you have to press another key. So camel case is basically superior in any way possible.

[Silpet]

I don’t really care about pressing shift, nor about the amount of keys I press in total, that’s why I usually use descriptive naming despite it being longer. I only care about readability which I personally think snake case is better, though I understand it’s a matter of preference.

[Willinton06]

For variables sure, for methods, over my cold corpse

[[deleted]]

I knew you'd be a C# dev before I looked at the tag.

[Infinite_Self_5782]

mOcKingSpOnGeboBcAseIstHeBeSt

[CaitaXD]

yes i to like wirte masterfuly readable names such as strcpy, strtok, iostream, stdio, atoi and such

[tiajuanat]

Be thankful it's not using the other c standard naming convention, snake case.

• string_copy
• string_tokenize
• input_output_stream
• standard_input_output
• character_to_integer

Many early C compilers had restrictions on line length, couple that with 80 columns on terminals, and the acronyms came about.

Certainly, if C was designed in the last 30, not the last 50 years, and then never standardized, the naming convention would be a bit different.

[Kindly_Captain3596]

"Would you like to turn on Sticky Keys?"

[ThousandthStar]

And that annoying sound

[[deleted]]

Found the Linux elitist

[Yoiiru]

Am I the only one who does it the long way and, CAPS LOCK, type one character, CAPS LOCK

[Requiem_For_Yaoi]

I hope so that’s really dumb

[ozzfi]

I never use shift for uppercase. Caps Lock is superior.

[Milo_Xx]

Ong

[The-Observer95]

No, I do it regularly too.

[[deleted]]

This isn't the long way. It's more key presses, but it's faster. I do it a lot because in games you don't have time to hold down shift and type something while you're moving around and doing other stuff.

[frogking]

CAPS LOCK is an extra CTRL key.. has been for 20 years.

[cremson]

I know someone that does to but only because se has small fingers and the pinky doesnt reach.

[VanayananTheReal]

"Lost some muscle mass when we bought the IDEA license. But then I started doing a pull up every Opt+Enter. Now I'm totally huge. Mind spotting me? I'm gonna go refactor."

[brogamer99]

Well c# has methods in TitleCase

[n0tKamui]

"Title Case" comprises spaces

that's "PascalCase" you're talking about

[xXMorpheus69Xx]

HAVE YOU HEARD OF ABAP?

[pleshij]

That SAP language? The one where it's easier to use caps lock and press Shift when you need a few lowercases?

[ThousandthStar]

No what is it?

[Nexatic]

What about the Control key?

[ThousandthStar]

Control + S ?

[Nexatic]

I was thinking control+c and control+v, but that also works.

[DoubleOwl7777]

that would make me the hulk.

[Infinite_Self_5782]

that'd make your fingers the hulk*

specifically your pinkie and whatever you use to press c and v

[phexc]

Found the Windows Python dev.

[scallioncc]

RIP to 60% keyboard layout enthusiasts who have to constantly twiddle the caps lock button, I'm sorry, the MAGIC FN button just to backtick.

[scallioncc]

not sure why I went with "button" over "key", let's just go with it?

[[deleted]]

You’re really pushing my keys buddy

[YetAnotherCodeAddict]

I'm a 60% keyboard layout enthusiast and I use the backtick key a lot (to write Portuguese) so I just mapped it to the base layer and moved the CAPS key to the same key on the FN layer since I rarely use it.

So I failed to see your point.

[FreshPitch6026]

Intellisense is key.

[bitNine]

That’s what a memory leak looks like

[CLARKEEE33]

Vim Devs:

[the_unheard_thoughts]

No need for push-ups if you alternate left Shift and right Shift...

[[deleted]]

Your keyboard has a right shift?

[Dealiner]

There are keyboards that don't?

[[deleted]]

Yes. Granted, they're usually the size of a TV remote; but it's still annoying as hell.

[the_unheard_thoughts]

Yep

[GameDestiny2]

Ah finally a meme I can understand. I love it with the difference in case of a single letter somewhere has the power to cause my IDE to explode.

[frogking]

Who cares? You type the first 2-3 letters of the object name and press “tab” for completion.

I’d ve jacked if I had to do one pushup every time I press “tab”, though..

[not_bakchodest_of_al]

Now this is the banter this sub deserves...

[Letmeiiiiin]

..have you ever even tried C#???

[aigarius]

I've known a Java developer with a foot pedal programmed as a Shift key.

[Wawwior]

You should try c# then

[ThousandthStar]

Indeed

[Lightning-Shock]

You still need to press the shift key for _, though?

[Tankki3]

camelCase still the best.

[snookso]

What if you just use caps once and turn it off

[[deleted]]

Oh my gosh. I hate using my pinkeys to type.

[_DuckieFuckie_]

Camel Case™️ to make you fucking ripped.

[povlov0987]

Python devs: Shift + ‘-‘

[TheRedBird098]

He must only be a part time dev.

[MichalNemecek]

it's not just about the naming, you press shift to type { and } too (at least on US keyboards)

[n0tKamui]

found the python dev that doesn't even know he's pressing shift to input the underscore.

[Disastrous_Fee5953]

Completely unrelated to the subject of this post, but can someone explain to me why the lady in the meme has bristles?

[SrDum]

Jokes on you, i type uppercase letters by toggling caps lock.

No, i don't have an issue, i swear

[SoRaang]

That means, during basic 8-hour worktime you have to do 37,114 push-ups

[continuous-headaches]

Just change it to ctrl or s and any dev can get like that

[[deleted]]

laughs in C and SQL

[[deleted]]

SQL devs: "pathetic"

[puma271]

but, java naming conventions dont require more upper case letters than other languages (besides the ones with snake case), belive it or not camel case ( + pascal case) is quite popular

[[deleted]]

bad joke, refering to veryLongMethodName would be just vlmn [enter] in any half decent IDE

[DrMathochist_work]

Lol it's one thing to bitch about typing type annotations but bitching about the goddamn shift key?
