warning. Rambling ahead

I seem to spend lots of time dreaming up variable and function names that
are concise. Others seem to do it with ease.

For example I am regular dealing with temperature. Temp is terrible,
temperature is too verbose and after many iterations I have currently
settled on degC as a variable name.

I consider I will never be an Ok C programmer until I master this seemingly
trivial activity.

I also labour over making code easier to read or easier to maintain. Which
sounds like a contradiction.

An example is the choice of an esp8266 dynamically or statically generating
table elements of a web page.

Statically means I have to update two or more sections of code to make
changes, where as dynamically requires making changing to only one section.

The static option is more obvious and readable when later revisited but
onerous  to make changes where the dynamic code is quicker, less error
prone but more obfuscated.

Paralysed  by indecision.
