Every name in your codebase is more than a label.
It teaches. Or it misleads.
In this post, I discuss real-world examples of vague function names, misleading booleans, contextless verbs, and hidden risks in hooks and TypeScript types and show how to rename them with clarity and intent.
You'll learn:
- Why handleSubmit() hides too much
- What does data mean, and why it's usually not enough
- How vague names create bugs long before the code runs
- A rule of thumb for renaming without overthinking
This isn't a style guide.
It's a shift in how you write code other people can trust.
Read it now and maybe rename something before you push it.
