This means I can spend a lot of time thinking up good names for functions, variables, classes, files, folders, ...
From the title if this post, I was hoping to find more material on actual name-choosing, rather than 'just' typographical notes.
While reading code, I find it utterly confusing to find Managers, Contexts, Handlers and the lot flying around in down-to-earth software. These names tell me nothing, and I am left to reverse-engineering the role such variable/class/... plays in the surrounding code.
Maybe each software team should have a technical writer for this :).
I have naming compulsive disorder.

This is an article I'm looking forward to!
To be fair there are a lot of articles on the subject. I don't think I can add something here:
I'm interested in lexical aspects of naming, because I wonder how it is connected to the syntax of a programming language
Thanks a lot!
