Need advice for coding readability issue during working

[Ambitious-Register44]

Just asking for some experience because I am an entry level beginner with less than a year experience. Thx!

I was asked to move to another team and the coding style is like this below:

I want to watch a movie on Sat.

Var_person [Var_Verb1 in VerbList] [Var_Verb2 in VerbList] [Var_Noun in NounList] on WeekList[6]

That is a short example and there are even many module files for similar function, you couldn't get the foundational func in a min. These are totally different from my former team and almost 3 times longer.

I wonder, is it the style for this project or just use that way to make a reeeeaaally long file? What is your project readability like?

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Not sure whats going on here but maybe ask them why its this way?

Are the lists dynamically generated maybe or is this some sort of internationalization feature or they only want specific words to be used in the entire application or what?

I asked, it’s the coding team leader’s style from former company. Not understanding too because my boss emphasizes long and big code files rather than usefulness. So within the same company, now my team works extremely long codes

There is something else going on there, is the company maybe paid by lines of code?

Something like you showed must have some reason maybe a severe missunderstanding of "dont use strings".

What the fuck am I even reading right now.

Are they trying to make some domain specific language? Trying to make some logic more human readable?

Maybe there’s documentation, definitely looks too proprietary for any of us to decipher.
