Naming Things

09.June.2025

reading, learning

This is a programming book, about naming variables. I'm not a programmer, but in my work as a spatial designer I often need to think about what sign types, destinations and variables should be called. Most principles in this book apply to other domains: a name is the communication of a dynamic concept to a dynamic audience.

What's this

This is where I keep track of the things that I read, watch, listen to and make. It's kind of my blog-pinterest-twitter and bookmark folder all in one. I keep it mainly for myself, because I have a bad memory, but it's public because I'm generous like that.
