What's the downside to like over organizing? Hard to find things. Yeah.

Would it be more helpful if it was instead of I, if it was iterate or increment, that's where you can really like drive that point home. Cause if you can say, what would the extended version of IB iterator and would it be more useful?

Of course it is. But I mean, like, let's do the exact opposite as a fun case. Let's expand it to like its full word. Would it be iterate or increment or what would it be?

So would it be more helpful or less helpful if it was for iterator? You know, if the variable was iterate instead of I. It's too much typing, man. Too much typing. Too much typing, right? So the answer is no, not more helpful.

I don't know if that's short for error, though, is it? Yeah, it is. Well, isn't ERR an actual word itself, though? E-R-R?

It's its own word. So is it a shortened version of error, or is it just a shortened version of the word?

The such thing is too long. I think the point he's making there is like, if you're going to see it frequently, make it brief, right? Because like, you're going to see it more often. The quicker you get something done that you're familiar with, we're going to happen frequently, probably the better.

So the more often you read ERR versus error, as an example, if you read that 50 times a day versus once a week, maybe do it briefly.

But to be able to look beyond the lines of the camps and say, what ideas have you implemented that would translate to our ecosystem and make sense for us to look at, I think is something that's been a hallmark for this show really since its inception. We began as the changelog. We began not choosing the Ruby camp despite our Ruby roots in many ways.

We didn't choose a specific camp and say this is the Ruby changelog. We said this is the changelog because open source was moving fast. It was difficult to keep up. And this show and the blog that came from it was an example of how to pay attention agnostically across the board and to cross-pollinate those ideas. I think this is like core DNA for us and phenomenal advice from you.
