@holgate And we shall chant, “Hail, hail and thrice hail, new master of capital and lord of our destinies. Also, please fix the potholes.”

Almost felt like I knew what I was doing with (a very limited subset of) d3.js the last couple of days. Just another line chart, but still.

@dotcode Coward.

@phillmv @aanand Yeah, I prefer underscores… just trying to work out what is most “standard” and use that despite my preference.

@philgyford PArTyCAsE!

@aanand So you can tell them apart! Look, I’m new to this. I’ll get the hang of it in another couple of decades.

@phl Triangulating then, I can tell the true and correct answer is “not camelcase”.

@aanand Ta. And variable names? (Sexist.)

(Coming up next: tabs vs spaces; wearing bike helmets vs not; Spectrum vs Commodore 64; etc.)

I hesitate to ask but in JavaScript, naming_with_underscores or camelCase? Different for different things? I’m always changing my mind.

@tomcoates Thailand's had twelve coups since 1932.
