> it takes just as much time to learn what "Ernest" does as it takes to learn what "shipping" does. If that is right we should apply it everywhere, as it does not matter. My method many is going to be PeterPan and the class name Wonderland. It's as easy to learn as a descriptive name.

> After the 10th "SMS Service" is created Are you also going to create 10 classes with incompatible but overlapping interfaces and tradeoffs? Some names are descriptive and other are just names. Your coworker is more likely to be named Ernest than GuyWithLongHairThatListenToPopMusicWhileReadingMangaAtTheParkAndIsReallyGoodWithPython and that is probably a good thing.

  And there are five Ernest and twelve Daniel, maybe we should name most classes the same also. When compiling the code a prompt may ask what Ernest do you mean.
