There... is, actually. If you don&#x27;t actually attempt to <i>align</i> the variable names, then what you&#x27;re doing is &quot;indenting items in a list&quot;, essentially.<p>In general, you should avoid aligning unless the readability gains are significant. Aligning things means that you end up re-aligning when you add or remove longer items. This increases maintenance and pollutes diffs (which also means code reviews and git logs).
