Welcome to my little CS trivia series. Every week I will post a new trivia piece because it seems that my mind is made of pieces of knowledge that ...

I would never name my function toto, but when I must use dozens of console.log then it will be console.log("toto") ou console.log("coucou") "coucou" being "hello" in a familiar french.
And yeah I don't like foo and bar either. They confuse me more than anything else
Totally! I’m a huge advocate of naming your functions, objects and variables descriptively :)
Like many of us. How many articles on naming is there on dev.to ? probably a lot!
Which is why foo and bar should be banned. Good practices on naming right from the start and everywhere
I grew very frustrated recently with a documentation where they used “foo bar” a lot and started wondering where these nonsensical words came from 😓 maybe we should write an extension that replaces metasyntactic variables with ones that have some logical relationship to each other ¯_(ツ)_/¯
It shall be banned beyond all recover, ha-ha 😆
Geez, thanks for the post! It made me laugh. Programmers are really weirdos for using words like "FUBAR" in prototyping!
Wibble, Wobble and Wubble sound like great names for functions. I might use those next time a have a triplet to write!
Yes! At least they are fun! But 'foo' and 'bar'?! I am very much not impressed 👎👎👎
I use a lot of "blubb", "bla" and "schubidu" for prototyping :)
That does sound fun! ✨
I was told by old-timers in WWII that
Fubar = f___ (or fouled) up beyond all repair.
That's what Gramps said. ;))
Well, at least foobar has some positive connotations for you 🙃
