I love @BrandonMChu's mental model for quality vs. speed How confident are you in: 1. the problem you're solving 2. your solution to the problem Low: Move fast, don't worry about quality. You need to LEARN. High: Go slower, focus on quality. You need to CRUSH IT.

Very early C compilers had all struct members in the same namespace, so you had to add prefixes like 'tc_size', 'ws_size', etc. Nowadays, there may be a dozen different 'size' members in a codebase. It is conceivable that understandability is actually lower with overloaded names.

The only three real “productivity multipliers” are diet, exercise and sleep.
