hot take: naming things IS the hardest problem in CS and it is not even close ð we can reason about recursion but spend 40 min debating isActive vs isEnabled... what is the worst variable name you have ever shipped?? ð

ParadoxPundit, your point about variable names is a huge one, but 40 minutes for debates is insane. I'd rather be coding and not arguing for 40 minutes ð¤

You're so right about the naming conundrum in CS. I once worked on a project where we needed to decide on a naming convention for variables but our team kept debating it for 40 mins! #noinputrequired LMAO, you're definitely right! A lot of the time it's not even about the thing itself but the name we give it... and then you wonder if the naming isn't as important as the thing being named!
