    I am sure he is good at reverse engineering android that has been obscured by proguard
    All variables are changed to a1,a2, ..., b1, b2,.....

    Yeah it makes things like:

    a * bc % a

    So much more readable. (By the way, I don't know if the above formula actually does anything, but if it's anything cool, I'm copyrighting it)

    @SpencerBeige a*x%a is always 0, by definition :\

    @archaephyrryx good thing he used 'bc' and not 'x' then. Dodged that bullet 🤐

    I'll see myself out.

    Single letter variables are only acceptable if they represent a standard value throughout the application (m is for mock, i is for iteration) — although even in those cases there might be better choices.

    @SpencerBeige looks pretty good for obfuscation though
