  • What an interesting problem!

    Are you able to use other styles of casing? Like underscore casing might help because you can see the spaces so it’s strike_through_offset Whitespace_width Etc Or maybe, if you have to stick with camel, it’s every syllable (if you work on a team, I would not recommend this, but for personal stuff it should be fine)

    I don’t think it’s a case of get good so much as it is a case of you parsing things differently depending on brain state, and you not having a tool to help you over come it/return to the previous brain state that could tell you which letter to capitalize.

    I think your best bet might be to come up with hard arbitrary rules and practice those until it sticks. It’s all vibes until experience hardens it into an opinion, basically

    My initial kneejerk reaction though was “you’re thinking too hard about it, just let it flow” but idk if that’s helpful in the slightest lol certainly wouldn’t help if there’s a mental bump at play, so I think simplifying the rules into something regular is probably the best place to start



  • I do web dev and I can say I was super guilty of this back in the 2010s. I bit the hype hard, and now we’re getting right back to the circumstances that made ie such a POS to work with. (In my defense, I got my dev job in 2013 and had to develop for ie6. It’s not a good defense, but I think that really lead to my overhype for google. I had no knowledge of chrome’s bloated whale carcass days, so it always felt like the browser that “just worked ™”)

    Market monopoly inspires evil in the good intentioned. Market monopoly also inspires nefariousness in the evil.

    I’d say this is the sort of thing that inspired Google to remove the “don’t be evil” from their guidelines.
