2E Code Review - pet hates - part III

7. Bad field names.

I've banged on about this many times but fields called 'Current Balance' or 'Count' simply do not cut it.

Call it as it is and don't be afraid for adding more fields.  Especially, as we can now search much easier than before.....

8. Copies of functions (just in case).

RTV All (Copy).

WHY! WHY! WHY! would you do this.  Just take a version or install version control system.  It is even worse when these are external functions that eventually get generated and promoted (but never used).

This is a very amateur mistake and you'll be shocked at how prevalent this is.

9.WIP

Happy to take ideas but be quick as this blog is likely to be closing soon.....

Thanks for reading.
