  In response to the prevailing challenges in contemporary software
development, this article introduces an innovative approach to code
augmentation centered around Impermanent Identifiers. The primary goal is to
enhance the software development experience by introducing dynamic identifiers
that adapt to changing contexts, facilitating more efficient interactions
between developers and source code, ultimately advancing comprehension,
maintenance, and collaboration in software development. Additionally, this
study rigorously evaluates the adoption and acceptance of Impermanent
Identifiers within the software development landscape. Through a comprehensive
empirical examination, we investigate how developers perceive and integrate
this approach into their daily programming practices, exploring perceived
benefits, potential barriers, and factors influencing its adoption. In summary,
this article charts a new course for code augmentation, proposing Impermanent
Identifiers as its cornerstone while assessing their feasibility and acceptance
among developers. This interdisciplinary research seeks to contribute to the
continuous improvement of software development practices and the progress of
code augmentation technology.
