I am reminded of this painful fact right today because I am, once again,
reviewing code written by other people. Code that's full of cryptic
inscrutable acronyms and abbreviations that make it infuriatingly hard
to understand what the code is doing.

The problem that the vast majority of programmers have is that when they
are writing code it's extremely clear *to them* what each variable means
and what its role is. However, to a third-party reader who is reading the
code for the first time it's not necessarily so.

The second problem is that people, for some reason, instinctively want to
write names that are as short as possible, as contracted and abbreviated
as possible, as compressed as possible, just to save typing a few
characters.

The problem is that when they are writing some kind of algorithm, the
algorithm itself, and each variable, is clear to the programmer who is
writing the code, but may not be clear at all to a third-party reader.

Thus you end up with cryptic acronyms like "tpl" and "tpr" and the like.
What are those supposed to mean? Maybe "l" stands for "left" and "r"
stands for "right"?

Turns out that they are supposed to stand for "test point left" and
"test point right". Finding that out is extra difficult because of the
code that initializes them is likewise cryptic, something along the
lines of "tpl = l.p;" which says nothing. What's with this obsession
with brevity? It makes code needlessly inscrutable and cryptic for
absolutely no benefit.

There's literally no reason why those acronyms couldn't be fully spelled
out, using full English words. "test_point_left" and "test_point_right"
are so much more readable and understandable. They immediately tell the
reader what they are supposed to be, and the reader doesn't have to try
to solve the puzzle of what "tpl" stands for by trying to decipher the
rest of the likewise-cryptic code.

Some people will still oppose this, for some reason. But you cannot
change what I am seeing. You are not going to make this code more readable
no matter how many times you repeat that the cryptic acronyms are
actually the ones that are more readable.
