Choose clear, descriptive names for variables, functions, and classes that accurately convey their purpose and follow framework conventions. Avoid abbreviations, single-letter names, or generic placeholders that might confuse readers. Key guidelines: - Replace abbreviated names with their full form (e.g., 'pagination' instead of 'p') - Avoid meaningless placeholder names (e.g., 'Foo', 'Bar') in favor of domain-specific terms - Use semantic naming that reflects the actual behavior - For class-returning methods, include 'class' suffix in the name Example: ```python # Poor naming def get_pagination(self, request, **kwargs): p = self.pagination_cls() return p # Better naming def get_pagination_class(self, request, **kwargs): pagination_instance = self.pagination_class() return pagination_instance ``` This approach improves code readability, maintains consistency with framework patterns, and makes the codebase more maintainable.
