Title: Creeping management-speak in code
Post by: smithy on November 18, 2005, 11:27:42 PM

Has anyone else noticed that management-speak has creeped into source code?

For example, find any program with more than a thousand lines of code and I'll bet it won't be long before you're tripping over names that include the words "manager", "resource", "controller" and (ugh) "service".  Has anyone written a reasonably large program without manager-words?

I've decided to rid my current project of all such abominations and replace them with more suitable language.  Thankfully there aren't too many, although I was particularly ashamed to come across a "ServiceManager".

:lol:

I know, it's awful. However, sometimes you have to call a DiggingImplementWithHandle a Spade. Descriptive names are more important than worrying if your code starts to read like management speak :-D
