Re: Development Standards

[Michael Ryan <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I hope I'm not thinking about consistency for its own sake. I don't know of a specific example. It's just my sense that if one developer starts work variable names with one prefix, and another with a different prefix, one could make assumptions when they look at code. Maybe I'm not making sense. Maybe consistency is overrated. I was really looking for a 'this is how we do it.' I'll sharpen my Google skills.
