Very badly chosen variable name, because it singles out one special case instead of reflecting the broader concept, which could confuse other devs picking up from here.
It's like defining a variable that stands for "vegetable" and naming it "carrot".
- whichquestion 7y agoMaybe it would be more appropriate to say that Zuck is an instance of the CEO/Tech Billionaire/Governing Body/Corporation/PotentialAIMaster object.
- HONEST_ANNIE 7y agoIt's bad in the same sense as "No true Scotsman" singles out the Scotsmen. Selecting easy to remember overly specific representatives is just way human mind works.
