Are we short on good words to describe the moving parts of our systems? We use so many synonyms for "thing" that then get overloaded.
Do we not just need to invent some new words with specific and useful meanings?
I'm not sure where the different lines would be drawn. Perhaps thinking about a specific program might be helpful. This can't be new thinking can it.
What naming conventions do people use that aren't obvious but are useful?
- grahar64 4y agoThe word “transaction” is so overloaded it would be pointless to use in a system. At a previous company we had to have a glossary of words that you could use instead just so the documentation made sense.
