Is this actually accurate? If so, can it please gain traction and attention? We can’t allow these creeps to play games anymore. It’s time to stop letting everything slide.

This actually kind of sucks because then if/when the votes don’t look close to how they expect according to polls they automatically assume something fishy happened.

And yes, I realize many will think that regardless.

Personally, I think the phrase ‘colored people’ sounds negative and offensive today. I have to assume this wasn’t always the case since it makes up 40% of the NAACP’s name.

Edited to add - I should have said ‘potentially offensive’. I do feel like the context in how it was used matters in this case. Our perception of things sometimes changes over time. If we have truely decided as a society to avoid the phrase entirely, then perhaps it’s time to rename the NAACP?

This is a nice quick read with some practical advice learned through read world experience. Thanks for sharing.

I generally use ‘count’ for a counter and ‘idx’ for index.

I’m not using C or Java languages though - if I were I would probably go with the more classic terse approach.

Also, if I’m reviewing a PR and I have to load more of the diff context to understand what a variable represents, then that variable has the wrong name.

I’m honestly prefer short but (usually) complete words. Somewhere along the line I realized that being explicit really helps when you need to change it later.
