and for reminding me of this one. I'd even go further than Stroustroup:
if you have an untyped language, Hungarian is a losing proposition.
The type "tags" in the var names are now possibly lying to you, which

with more intelligent techniques [1] (or, if that's not your thing, you
just change languages).
[1] Lint, why not?
