It really is.

I’ve learned a lot about language by coming up with names and seeing other people’s.

I think we are blessed with things like set/get. Such wonderful, simple, short concepts that compliment each other so well.

And they rhyme.

There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors

If it does 1001 different things, naming it is the least of your problems.

When writing a small, throwaway project, I stick with theIP, theDir, theVar, etc. More fun that way. This is with shell scripts, btw. I’m sure compiled code would be far more of a mess far quicker doing this.

ETA: also someVar, someDir, etc
