What is a thing but a name? To really name something you have to know what it is, and that is harder than you think.

- karmakaze 6y agoThe other points have their merit, but this one is the most prevalent one. Things are hard to name because they're made and used without knowing exactly the one thing they're meant to be doing. Often times there's no meaningful motivation such as 'so I can deduplicate this piece of code' which looks the same, but be in different contexts and in future be changed for different reasons.
