I wanted to write this blog post about (a specific part of) naming things back in July, but ironically I didn’t have a name for the symptom I wanted to describe. I only found a good name when I attended Kate Gregory’s talk on naming at CppCon, and now I finally have the time to write my thoughts down. So I want to write about naming. In particular, about the phenomenon that sometimes a name is a perfect description of what a function does, yet it is totally useless.
