I just noticed a variable I had created at some point was later refactored by somebody else from "entity" to "entty". When spoken, they both sound about the same... perhaps somebody was trying to shorten variable names?

Nay, it just doesn't include a naughty word. Clbuttic.

He could could have further shorten it by using anti. Fairly similar sounds unless you pronounce it like ant-i.

"ntty" would have been even shorter and still sound about the same  .

Why not just ntt? If you spell it out (which is what I assume you should do if there are no vowels ) its en-tee-tee... Sounds about right to me

Yes, Freak30 also pointed that out above. I am ashamed to admit, I just did not see it  .

keep an eye on him he might try shorten the number of lines to code used in the project to shorten the application!!

But that'll speed it up, won't it?
You use smaller fonts to make the application EXE smaller...

The fastest code to execute is code that doesn't exist.
|
|
|
|

A sample of the code I'm working on now:
TimeZone = If(item.Descendants("DisplayableDateTime").Attributes("TimeZone").ElementAt(0).Value <> "", item.Descendants("DisplayableDateTime").Attributes("TimeZone").ElementAt(0).Value, "")
In short, set the result to the value when the value is not an empty string; otherwise, set the result to an empty string.

Something similar I catch myself almost writing is along the lines of:
if ( x <> y ) x = y

Are you by chance working in a funny language where !(a<>b) does not mean b can be used instead of a in all contexts?
Let's say you have a language where null == "" (for simplicity, you know?) Then you have an API that does not follow that convention and throws on a null.

Few weeks ago i decided to create an application to make my work easier as we used to execute different scripts to complete our tasks, other than using different applications to do this, i created this application. And because everyday we can use different scripts i decided to make the application extendable so you can add new dll and the application know how to execute this new script. Right now while am having a drink and reading a little bit about MEF, my heart start to beat very fast as i found this exactly what i was doing without using reflection. I think i will have couple of drinks more and dive more deep with this sweet lovely thing. Just wanna share my feelings with you guys

Someone has a picture of the Dos Equis guy with that text on it pinned to their cubicle wall in our office. I'm a little disappointed the shirt doesn't have his picture too...(ignoring the obvious issues with properly licensing the image)
