I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I agree with most of the points here, but picked up on a couple of points:
I don't think that pointsRecord is a better variable name than maximumNumberOfPointsInModernOlympics because "record" doesn't imply the same thing as "maximum possible", and also because "record" is more usually used to convey the idea of a set of data.
Your last example says that you don't need to use "m_" as a member variable prefix anymore, but you immediately follow that with a list of "Standarized Prefixes" including "m_". I think that either you use a language where the convention includes metadata about the variable or you don't, and you go with what the rest of the world does.
First, thanks for the comment. I can agree with your first argument. pointsRecord does not fully represent maximumNumberOfPointsInModernOlympics. I will learn more about it. Regarding the m_ prefix, it is not recommended to use prefixes but in certain situations such as in the organization, prefixes may be needed and used with name conventions. I included an explanation of prefixes in the name convention section. I just realized that I'm converting C++ syntax to Javascript carelessly. At first, I meant it for intermezzo, but it seems misguided and misunderstood. Maybe I need to delete it or add a note. Thanks again for the comment, I appreciate it, and it helped me :)
