The whole point of Hungarian Notation is not for the compiler but the programmers; specifically the ones who didn't write the code themselves. This will allow them to more easily follow the track of variables for things like their scope and data type without having to refer back to their declaration. If you have trouble reading Hungarian Notation, you will have trouble in the more mainstream programming and projects.

As for my stupid mistakes, I often now use C functions instead of Pawn functions for things like string manipulation and file handling. It is quite annoying going from one language to the next when you have different functions that basically result in the same thing. It is even more annoying when functions have the same names, but take different parameters, return different values, or do something completely different than the one you previously knew.
