Thanks to Joel, now I grok Hungarian Notation and see that it’s a Good Thing™

Joel on Software - Making Wrong Code Look Wrong: “This was a subtle but complete misunderstanding of Simonyi’s intention and practice, and it just goes to show you that if you write convoluted, dense academic prose nobody will understand it and your ideas will be misinterpreted and then the misinterpreted ideas will be ridiculed even when they weren’t your ideas. So in Systems Hungarian you got a lot of dwFoo meaning ‘double word foo,’ and doggone it, the fact that a variable is a double word tells you darn near nothing useful at all. So it’s no wonder people rebelled against Systems Hungarian.”

Pretty much of what Joel writes in this latest article is right, but I still do like and use exceptions, mostly for the same reasons expounded by Cedric.
