I'm one of those developers that frets over the small things. I'll spend what feels like hours trying to figure out how to name things.
I'm working on simply saying "that'll do. The end."
I'll get so much more done.

- rapind 17y agoNaming things is very important. I'm glad someone else gets that!
- abstractbill 17y agoIt is very important, but it can wait. My first cut at any new piece of software has a bunch of names containing words like "stuff" and "thing". I find it's ok to go back and rename things later if it helps you remain in the flow state of just getting your ideas down in writing.
- rapind 17y agoWe all work differently. For me, digging in and figuring out what to name the resources gives me a good feeling for the problem domain.
- abstractbill 17y agoOh definitely. My wife took a bunch of creative writing classes recently, and one of the biggest things she took away from them is that there is no "right way" to write a book. I'm pretty sure the same is true of writing computer programs!

- blasdel 17y ago...or it doesn't need a name

- jarsj 17y agoWell How about naming it whatever and later refractor using Eclipse or something. I do it all the time.
