I was learning python as a wee scientist in training, and my variables were beyond dreadful. I tried naming a list "list" and the interpreter told me I couldn't, so I opted for "listy". When I needed to name a new list but listy was taken, I'd often resort to "listyy".

Scientists who work with computers without having much (if any) targeted training on how to code can write the most horrendous programs.
