@user58668 I have worked on a product which had a database table named objectdata. I was happy that the next version renamed it.

I like using codeblocks. Ex: void process_url() { {...} {...} } typically if I want i can cut and paste those blocks w/o the function breaking

| May 1, 2013 at 6:03 | comment | added | gnat | @BenLee I studied that top answer at reddit: most of it looks like basic handwaving I often see in it depends disclaimers in answers here. References to McConnell are good but not spectacular. I fail to see how it's better... unless one somehow feels attracted by simplistic / populist remark about "bad makeover" | |
| Apr 29, 2013 at 19:04 | comment | added | Ben Lee | I think the alternate perspective provided in the top answer in the reddit discussions is a far better answer than any provided here. | |

Function names which don't add understanding: process, call, doIt. Similarly for value names: data, object, thing, component, vector, list, etc.

| Apr 24, 2013 at 19:34 | comment | added | Michael Shaw | @KilianFoth: That question is specifically about one line functions, this question doesn't imply that the smaller functions aren't fairly long themselves. | |
| Apr 24, 2013 at 19:12 | comment | added | Amy Blankenship | Also, many IDE's have tools that let you view references to methods. | |
| Apr 24, 2013 at 18:33 | comment | added | psr | If your language doesn't have a way of distinguishing such methods you can always create a naming convention to do so. | |
