Michal Bryxí<p>I was again reminded how bluntly excluding everything IT is being built. I wanted to use the phrase "put me in CC of that email". But:<br>- Does an average person know what it means?<br>- Or even how to do it in their app?<br>- What if the field in their app has a different name?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Emails" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emails</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/NamingIsHard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NamingIsHard</span></a></p>
Michal Bryxí 🌱<p>Little IT naming protip:<br>🙅‍♂️ Do not use relative project version names like "next", "tng", "legacy", "old". It _will_ eventually confuse people as newcomers won't know if "`old` was before `next`, but that was also before `classic`". It _will_ eventually lose meaning as you release `next-next` and `next-next-next`.<br>👍 Do use absolute project version names. 1, 2, 3, ... At best irrespective to what new-ism marketing department came with. They want project rebrand? Fine, but we're now on Foo-4.3. So the next one will be Bar-5.0.</p><p><a href="https://veganism.social/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Naming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Naming</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/NamingIsHard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NamingIsHard</span></a></p>
Michal Bryxí 🌱<p>So if this is called a "backspace", shouldn't this be called "forwardspace"?</p><p><a href="https://veganism.social/tags/NamingIsHard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NamingIsHard</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Consistency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Consistency</span></a></p>
