The combination of all-caps type names and Hungarian notation for variables (“ppszOutStr”) makes it feel like you’re having a conversation with the vampire from the 2024 Nosferatu remake.

He’s kind of yelling slowly and kind of talking in some East European language, and yet you can kind of understand what he’s saying.

(And if I ever have to open an MFC codebase again, I’m going to be thinking of how Nosferatu springs up naked and rotting from his coffin)
