> I’ve concluded that everything we’ve been taught about clean code and readable variable names is not just wrong — it’s actively hurting performance.

This was already known. Clean code was never about performance. It was about legibility. Casey Muratori put out “Clean Code, Horrible Performance” two years ago.

Still, it’s interesting that variable names would have any effect on performance.
