The worst part of being a developer is naming things

"item1"
"item2IGuess"
"fuckThisSection"
"killMePlease"

that's so true :D

I have the opposite problem! As a multilingual/musician/creative type I can name things all the live long day. The problem is that my names annoy the other developers 😂

@bluehiro give us some examples?

How to name a list of people in a programming language :

peopleList
listPeople
persons

Whatever you choose, you'll think to change it after 1hr

@SnowyLoli I pick names with meanings for what I'm doing. Like a cleanup process will be called concierge, a monitoring process will be called watchdog or pitbull. Some of the process automation scripts are called Automaton or Voltron. Parent child relationships are often called foo/bar and bees/knees, etc. I try to stick to English, but sometimes I slip and using French or Spanish words. I went through a Star Wars phase, lol. Strangely enough most of the complaints have come from my use of uncommon English words.

@bluehiro if I find a concierge task I would tip it with real money after the task has been done

@SnowyLoli +1 for "killMePlease"

Don't mind naming things, can't stand attempting to understand other people's names!!

@dave-g ain't that the truth

I used to use var1, var2, var3, etc. Needless to say when I asked for help, I got yelled at...

TRUTH
