Identifiers are super important and should be chosen wisely, but a C program with English identifiers is still a C program, while an LLM prompt is in fact NL and a whole new layer of that between your brain and the bytes. Which is why I think that saying "we already put NL between us and the bytes" minimizes that difference and is a bad take.

They mostly aren't important though. When I first learned Pascal, JavaScript and PHP as a child, I had barely any idea what all those English words meant. Later on, when I was learning English in middle school, I was remembering their meanings by recalling what they do in code.
