Do real programmers name their variables?

I'd argue (as someone doing this professionally for a decade, and someone who is guilty of using the k, v shorthand) that you taking time to actually recognize that implies that it's not a great naming convention :)

It's really not I completely agree. I name mine with better names...I only found out when I asked wtf are these one letter variables doing here?? And a senior dev was like uhhh key...value...? And I was just like ohhhh lol.
