This is why I said Boaty McBoatface. You look for Boats? It has "boat" literally two times in it's name.
- nsonha 4y agoNo you were clearly arguing for "memorable". Do you argree now that it's a worthless quality for a name? (in software engineering)
- atoav 4y agoI disagree that it is worthless. What I agree with is that it is not strictly necessary, but that is a label that you can stick on a lot of things. Things that make our lives easier. Memorability of names is not a necessity in software engineering, just as is descriptiveness, but it certainly does not hurt.
