Undecipherable naming used to be a huge problem at Uber, till the CTO put a stop to it in a 2017 memo: “This amateurism is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. This is a professional engineering organization, and not a Mickey Mouse shop. We want to be efficient and effective, not cute.” https://twitter.com/spikebrehm/status/1262768428215152642 …

I hated that. A few teams ruined otherwise perfectly fine code naming for everyone else. The engineer that made the RFC proposing this was infuriatingly smug about the whole thing too. Also wasn't this 2016? Can't imagine Thuan using that wording in a post-Susan-Fowler time

Oooh, hard disagree. Project and service naming at Uber was horrendous and an active waste of energy. Then again, I think the same about acronyms https://gist.github.com/klaaspieter/12cd68f54bb71a3940eae5cdd4ea1764 … Thuan sent this memo 4 days before Fowler’s article came out
