    we become programmers because we lack creativity. my brain short circuits when i have to come up with something other than “foo”, “bar”, or maybe even “baz”

      Programming is quite literally creative problem solving, so I doubt that programmers lack creativity.

        Problem solving, of course, but creative writing, composition, and art… not my cup of tea.

      I have the opposite problem, my variables are sometimes too descriptive. I even annoy myself at times with VariableThatDoesThisOneThing and VariableThatDoesDifferentThing just because I want to be able to come back later and not wonder what I was smoking.
