Or as paraphrased by Jeff Atwood:

There are two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.

"There are two hard problems in computer science: that we have only one joke, and that the joke is not very funny" (q)

"Now, you have two problems."

Naming is so key to getting the right vibe for a feature/product/codebase.

This is a perfect encapsulation of the feeling when naming a variable: https://twitter.com/jenmsft/status/1381006038590099456?lang=...

The irony here: In my experience, if that's the face you make while naming a variable, you're probably good.

What always gets me is code written by someone who just goes "well, there's already `process`, so let's call this method `process2`".

Yeah that's infuriating. Clearly the proper naming is newProcess.

That's old new. New new is ReduxProcess.
