One other thing forgot to mention - again hyping on about edSharp for python
coding...<smile> - is that it has keystrokes to jump to next code block,
next indentation change/level, and in code like PHP, etc. it can jump to
starting/ending/matching braces, etc., but anyway.

Hi Jacob,
Oh, yeah. So do I. Not only was it the way I was taught to program
those conventions you mention at least have use to me on a day to day
basis. Declaring an integer variable as iSumNumber or a string as
sMyString helps me keep the variables and data types straight.
Especially, in Python which doesn't need an explicit declaration of
the data type. Variables just pop into existence with whatever kind of
data you assign it which can get confusing, for me at least, in
figuring out if I assigned an integer, float, etc to that variable.
Also I've gotten in the habit of closing my blocks of code with
comments as well. Since if statements, functions, loops, etc in Python
have no closing braces etc I add a comment like #End if, #End loop, or
#End function so I can quickly determine where one block ends and
another one begins etc. While not necessary I do find it useful for my
own programming needs.
Cheers!

What I standardly do now, at the very least is add comments to the end of
code blocks, like if statements, loops, class definitions, function
definitions, etc. etc., so that at the very least, when reviewing code
later
on, I know what I'm looking at, at the end of code blocks..<smile>
Oh yes, and have always, even in sighted days used descriptive names for
variables, data structure, etc. - you don't want to be reviewing T-SQL,
and
wonder what type of object/item Customers is, when it could be something
like tblCustomers, qryCustomers, qryDelCustomer, qryInsertCustomers, etc.
etc., and for variable names in code itself, things like dDate1,
sString1,
fFloat1, lList1, dcDictionary1, etc. are the types of naming conventions
I
make use of for variable names.
Stay well
