RailsConf 2024 - What's in a Name: From Variables to Domain-Driven Design by Karynn Ikeda

Join me on a crash course in semantic theory to unpack one of the hardest problems in software engineering: naming things. Dive into how names act as a linguistic front-end, masking a more complex backend of unseen associations. We’ll start from a single variable name and zoom out to the vantage point of domain-driven design, and track how consequential naming is at each stage to help you improve your code, no matter your level of experience.
