I find it curious how programmers are so poor at naming their projects. This could've easily been named pokésay. That said, it's a cool project!

- mosselman 7y agoThe way you phrased this makes it seem like you aren't a programmer and are looking in from outside of the programming world. On another note: a less condescending way of conveying the same message would have been "Cool project. Pokésay would have been a great name instead of Pokemonsay."

- rahuldottech 7y agoI... am a programmer. And I'm terrible at naming too, usually. It was just a light-hearted comment.
- mosselman 7y agoSame here, no offence taken. I found it funny how it seemed as if you weren't a programmer, but you mention naming things as something programmers can't do, which is something programmers say. It made me imagine an outsider who agrees with the programmers are crap at naming meme. "Those shitty programmers with their constant misnaming of things." like people hating on cab driver's anti-social driving.
