I just think we should have standardized naming conventions in order to allow clearer communication, while the CS field is moving exactly the opposite way because every company wants to have their own, unique nomenclature. This is ridiculous and only creates friction. Imagine mathematicians having ten different names for "a curve", half of them considered offensive because why not.
