When not too constrained by size and particularly for prototyping, I tend to use short descriptive names that are not too hard to decode. For example you could use Cby* for bypass capacitors, or maybe if you have a series of LEDs, then you

You could argue, using the same logic, that when using {} languages, the computer can serve you by automatically doing the indentation anyway. This is the case in practice: I never have to worry about indenting my code in C, as support for
