Why are the arguments not three-letter though? I would feel terrible if that was my code.

Oh. The thing is, I really like my code formatted symmetrically, aligned evenly, etc. I go as far as adding empty comments to prevent the formatter from removing my custom line breaks. I thought you were the same, in a way ;)
e.g., https://github.com/mayo-dayo/app/blob/0.4/src/middleware.ts
It's just a convention I use for personal projects. Back when I started coding in C, people often just opted to go with one or two character variable names. I chose three for locally-scoped variables because it was usually enough to identify them in a recognizable fashion. The fixed-width nature of it all also made for less eye-clutter. As for function arguments, the fact that they were fully spelled out made it easier for API reference purposes. At the end of the day all that really matters is that you choose a convention and stick with it. For team projects they should be laid out early on and, as long as everyone follows them, the entire project will have a much better sense of consistency.
