Reasons that $not_first_time is not a good variable name:
  • Not the first time for what, exactly? (This isn't helped by the fact that this programmer doesn't believe in using inline comments. Ever.)

  • It's awfully rude to use an inverse boolean like that, where it's false if the thing it tracks is true, and vice versa. not($first_time) reads much better than not($not_first_time), no?

  • I can't get that song from Foreigner out of my head now.

Bonus annoyance: I'm thinking of that one ATHF episode where Karl gets the magic Foreigner belt. Sadly, I think that's hilarious.
