Outsource naming things
Stuck on what to name something? Ask someone else! Why didn’t you think of that? [send post]
No, but really, every single time I socialise what I’m thinking when writing or refactoring “important stuff”, I get feedback that greatly improves clarity.
Today I started with:
paid_subscriber_listregistered_user_list
Fine I guess, technically correct, but it wasn’t sitting quite right. So I threw it out there, and within 10 seconds we ended up with:
paid_user_listnonpaid_user_list
Less ambiguity, more consistent verbiage, chef kiss.
