How people name things tell you a lot about who they are, because names have power, more than we think For example, software engineers do not tend to be poets, so thats why its one the hardest things in CS, the other is cache invalidation

Are poets actually better at naming things? Or are they just more committed to their words and don't have consequences for poor naming? Asking as someone who named something "urllib3" in 2007 and has to deal with this reality to this day lol.
