A common programming mistake: Forgetting to start with a verb
A common programming mistake: Forgetting to start with a verb.
Here are 4 things that should typically start with a verb:
1. Function
🚫 userGet
✅ getUser
2. Ticket title
🚫 Password reset
✅ Implement password reset
3. Pull Request
🚫 Login change
✅ Refactor login
4. Commit message
🚫 Casing
✅ Fix file casing
A function name describes what it does.
A ticket name describes what needs to be done.
A PR title and a commit message describe a change.
These are actions. So start with a verb.
