      Exactly. If it’s a statically typed language and the function has a clear name? I know what type it is, I know what it’s for, I’m good.

      There are far worse sins, like intermediate variables or worse, public class members named “obj” or “data”.

        GitHub doesn’t show types. So if the value is given to another function you would have no way of knowing what type it is unless you read the file that other function is declared in.
