Perhaps instead of using highly descriptive variable names, use reasonably descriptive variable names?

Names that are too long impair readability rather than helping it. You want names that are as long as necessary to meaningfully, semantically distinguish identifiers in a given context, but not any longer.



I'm comfortable that I'm writing code that's easy to understand and modify years later.
