Name Styles
Posted on Mon 04 March 2024 in TDDA
This is just a bit of fun, but I've always been interested in the different kinds of names allowed, encouraged, and used in different areas of computing and data.
A few years ago, I tweeted some well-known naming styles and a collection of lesser-known naming styles. I was playing about with the same idea while thinking about metadata standards today and came up with this. Just as I often think one of the boxes on the uniqitous 2x2 "Boston-Box"-style matrices makes no sense, I think some of the boxes on the evil-good-lawful-chaotic breakdown (which I gather comes from Dungeons and Dragons make little sense, so forgive me if some of this looks slightly forced. But I think it's fun.
