    I first started programming with TurboBasic which had the oh-so-amusing characteristic that you could have variable names of any length but the compiler only used the first two letters (and case-insensitive at that). So “DonutCount” and “DoobieCounter” actually referred to the same variable.

    Really good times trying to debug that kind of shit.
