On reflection I think I may have been trolling. Personally, I prefer lower case with dashes interposing distinct words. I've rarely gotten to use that in practice but haven't cared much. I didn't realize people got so upset about things like letter case. It seems like that would hinder creativity or at the very least waste time.
> Don't bother bringing up IDEs as a way to cut back on mistakes, or to help creativity. Real programmers don't need them. I still program in PL/I under OS/360 on Hercules, and that compiler hasn't been updated since about 1972. Ah, simpler times: when your keyboard weighed more than one of today's laptops, when real engineers built both the hardware and the software, and when CamelCase was merely a waking dream.
Whoa ouch. I don't measure up to that at all. I'd love to be skilled enough to design/build my own hardware. I just don't think it'd help me build websites or do much else. I don't use an IDE though so hopefully that is making me more productive in some way.
