Okay kidding aside....
The problem with hungarian notation, is that it is sometimes used in place
of good programming practices.
Example:
I know that I don't have to scope my variables, CF will find them, so I can
say #name# and CF will probably find it. But now lets take it a little
further.
I read this really neat Hungarian notation thing and I get excited, I start
writing my variables like this #ff_name# or #ur_name#, to show that I expect
them to come from either a url's query string or a form field. (not making
this up, I'm reviewing code that I'm expected to fix that was done this way,
but to the former dev's defense they were really php developers.
Now there is a very scaled down version of hungarian notation that's been
adopted by the FB community but its in place more for organization of files,
and used to define recordsets. The other problem with Hungarian Notation is
that its primary use is to help define the data type that a variable will
be. That's all well and good, but pretty soon people get creative, sometimes
their newly found nifty save the world new notation is easy for everyone
else to understand and sometimes not.
The general idea behind Fusebox (at least before it became a religion to
some of these fine folks) was the inherit to the old acronymn KISS....
