Counterpoint:

What if you could say "Yeah boss, Thermanator is complete and ready to be unleashed." and mean it?

I spent thirty years turning in shit like "PrimitiveSpoofAttackDHCP" and "TCPThreadPoolFlooder" but now I'm realizing I couldve been writing bond villain superweapons all this time.

I thought naming things was one of those aspects of the job which can be nice and entertaining. It's easy to remember, where is the harm in this?

Clearly the naming is wrong anyway - while the terminator saw in monochrome (infra?)red, thermal vision surely points to Predator, not The Terminator...

Makes me wonder about the variable names.
