Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
I’ve been at this for 25 years and a restriction on variable name length hasn’t been a problem since then.

Speak for yourself. My company only stopped using Fortran this decade.
And with "this decade" you mean within the last 10 years or since 2020? Either way, I'm scared... Just kidding, if this is a bank we're talking about, they're actually ahead of the curve.
I was mostly poking (heh) fun at myself, (also) a member of the generation I spoke about. Very much not a professional, but I do code a little, and know about the non-triviality of naming things.
Also also, for reasons I won't go into, my phone is still a flip phone.
