Let’s get rid of foo/bar/baz while we’re at it. Those are just irksome.

I'm guilty of using them for quick checks done in the console. But they're just for myself. I try to never use them in code or tests.

They are fun tho, and they relate to programming history and how it was taught in the US navy etc. :)

It's like programming culture/lore, i absolutely adore it. :)

Foo/bar made so hard to understand thing starting out. I kept thinking they were reserved words or something.
