Naming things like classes, methods or packages can be hard. Especially if you are not working alone. However, I don’t think there is a universal rule for naming things. It depends on the context.

I am a strong believer that every backend dev should have some basic understanding and knowledge of UI coding and design. It helps understanding why, where and who is using your functionality. Moreover, you will understand your UI devs better and their pains. But that’s for another mail.

I’ve been thinking about some business stuff for the last days and it hit me that some part in me is still thinking too much about tools. That’s neither bad nor good. It depends on your goals. Yours and mine might differ. I share my thoughts anyway.
