Whenever you store a value that has a unit in a variable, config option or CLI switch, include the unit in the name. So:
maxRequestSize=>maxRequestSizeByteselapsedTime=>elapsedSecondscacheSize=>cacheSizeMBchargingTime=>chargingTimeHoursfileSizeLimit=>fileSizeLimitGBtemperatureThreshold=>temperatureThresholdCelsiusdiskSpace=>diskSpaceTerabytesflightAltitude=>flightAltitudeFeetmonitorRefreshRate=>monitorRefreshRateHzserverResponseTimeout=>serverResponseTimeoutMsconnectionSpeed=>connectionSpeedMbps
EDIT: I know it’s better to use types to represent units. Please don’t write yet another comment about it. You can find my response to that point here: https://programming.dev/comment/219329
But what if the FileSize can be „1G“, „1024M“, 518K“, etc.?
Documentation itself is much more important and modern IDEs and Editors will show you what to type in :)
In that case I would call the variable
fileSizeWithUnitand also document what the possible units are. I wouldn’t say that documentation is categorically more important than good naming. Both are different aspects of good software development.Then use bytes
