Codebase Dysmorphism Syndrome

Codebase Dysmorphism Syndrome or CDS for short, is a condition which programmer struggles with structuring, organizing, and defining their codebase. Individuals with CDS may have difficulty at doing things like naming variables with comically descriptive name or deciding if they should use camelCase or snake_case for their files, often these symptoms causes by stuff such as lack of code standards or being worried with future backward compatibility issue.

essentially it is like an existential crisis, but for your code.
