Categorization exists so we can communicate. Labelling abstractions enables us to grok more in our head, and communicate faster. Your second paragraph demonstrates this:
"My "what" was too slow and I need a new "what", but unit testing the "what" helped..."
If only there were higher levels of abstractions to say what you mean.
- jerf 15y agoThere are higher labels of abstraction to say what I mean. In fact I could describe it in great detail. My boss may not particularly appreciate me using that level of detail. For that matter you probably wouldn't either, it isn't that interesting to the core point here. My explicit point in this case was about how the labels are actually bad, get in your way, and shouldn't be used because they hurt more than they help.
