    I have a convention to correlate the size of variable scope with its name length.

    If a variable is used all over the program, it will be named “response”. If it is <15 lines, then it can be “res”. If it is less than 3 lines, it can be only “r”.

    This makes reading code a bit simpler, because it makes unimportant, local vars short and unnoticeable.
