This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yes we are nerds but we must have decorum.

Plus if you’re managing any real infra at all you’ll run out of names if you’re using Star Wars, even the extended canon.

Really: They’re cute until you’re on a screenshare with an angry customer and you’re trying to restore the wookie database to the ewok database. Then it’s way less cute.

Every character on screen has a name in Star Wars. For example: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Davin_Felth

God I love that fandom. Or, used to anyways.

I wouldn't use cute names anyway because I'd forget what they actually were. It's way better to use descriptive names so that you actually look like you know what you're talking about. Generally speaking you don't see cute names as much as you just see bad names.

In the past I've read code that says things like prefDoUserAccountProccessing_b(e) only to find out that it's some old bit of code that isn't used anymore because it's for an old legacy SAP system. That's apparently what the _b indicated, because obviously.
