I have a colleague that loves to call functions things like ‘convert_object_type_from_mm_to_m’ and ‘convert_object_type_from_m_to_mm’ . It’s unscannable. They’re the same to me.

He does not like my ‘meter_to_mm’ and ‘mm_to_meter’ because the abbreviations are inconsistent, no verb is used and he needs to go all the way to the typehint to know the input. We both have a point, but there is not really a clear middle ground without writing a novel in function names.
