You're arguing that me saying minitest authors should put "i_suck" in their library name is unprofessional, on this post?
It "sucks" because it has an inaccurate method name that implies an inferiority. This is my current and original criticism of the minitest devs.
Your idea that I am unprofessional, is an opinion.
"This method name indicates a lack of understanding that finding the right balance of speed, cost and quality is a compromise."

- tomlockwood 4y agoI feel like you need to express your point better!
- Dylan16807 4y agoThe minitest author(s) were unprofessional. That unprofessional humor is the main reason it was posted. But that's different from writing code that sucks. A single flag name like that doesn't even affect functionality or readability.
- tomlockwood 4y agoIt actually does, it's generally agreed that longer method names are worse unless the length is descriptive. This isn't a super contraversial idea.
