      Why naming things is hard

        We could of course refactor our code to rename things any time we like, but we don’t do this enough in practice
        refactoring: rename can in theory but not commonly done in practice don't do often enough

        If we renamed things more often, then it probably wouldn’t be so hard to name them in the first place.
        good point becomes/gets easier with practice/experience naming things is hard big change/rewrite vs. continuous improvements / smaller refactorings refactoring: rename

        We also find it hard to agree on what good names and bad names look like, which makes it hard to know when renaming improves a name.
        hard to determine/recognize if it is better / an improvement or not refactoring: rename naming things is hard hard to agree on
