Dev: what do I call this file ?
Me: just name it something meaningful so other dev's know what it is

Two days pass

Me: time to do code review .. oh look a new file ..

Git comment : new file for sax parsing , architecture gave the ok.

File name : SomethingMeaningful.java

PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE JOKING! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE THESE DAYS!

Sounds like your dev is just having some fun, there's no harm in that

@theScientist I could understand getting wound up about this kind of thing if you were working on a project for GCHQ or NASA, but if you're in a less serious environment there really is no harm in it providing that the file gets renamed post-review. In fact, this is something that would keep reviewers on their toes and actually help maintain quality.

Looks like he took your advice 😅

@milkybarkid The bars are on me! 😂 (Sorry couldn't help it)

Love it.

I encourage this kind of behaviour in my team. And they know that when the joke is over to push that already refactored and properly name commit!

@Rammy7219 Lmao you wouldn't believe how often I hear that

@milkybarkid haha I bet lol!

Well... Naming is hard 🤣

To be fair, you did kind of tell him to fuck off. He asked for help in naming the file, you told him to figure it out yourself. Unless he realy didn't know that the file name should be something meaningful. I approve of this type of fun, if it's not under time pressure and obviously if it gets renamed to something proper (not SomethingProper.java though :))

@Bikonja LoL somethingproper.java
