Creeping management-speak in code
« 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".
