[Semit-OT] Naming Conventions

[C# Learner]

Why can't people abide by naming conventions?! It seems that most
people have to have their /own/ custom convention.

Mainly because you'll never get everyone to agree what the one naming
convention will be. The question is where are you having your trouble? Code
formatting and naming is a little tricky, and there are a few rules that you
should follow(generally those in the .NET guidelines), but internal and
private code is mostly up to the developer, although it should be kept the
same across a project(and organization is applicable).

Oh, I'm just ranting in general.

You know, _I'm_ willing to adopt *any* sane naming convention, just to
keep to standards. I just get annoyed when reading through someone
else's code and seeing that they haven't made an effort to keep with
the relevant guidelines/standards.

In my view, so long as the standard is /sane/, programmers can adapt
to it, no matter what they're accustomed to.

Just my 0.02.

I'm sure they can, its more a matter of convincing them they should, . I
am only really anal about external interfaces, I rarely worry about the
state of the private code(although, even with bad code formatting and naming
conventions, when I'm modifying that code I make an effort to make the same
choices and use the same naming pattern). Its a frustration, but it can be
lived with.
