Quick update:
Today is the first day I wasn’t really writing code; I spent most of the day writing letters and site documentation.
Earlier tonight I had the idea to change the name of “campaign” to “thing.” I truly believe it’s a great idea, but being experienced in having ideas and thinking that they are great, I can recognize signs that point to it probably being awful.
Just now as I was getting ready to go to bed I made the following observation in my head: “today is the first day I am not writing code and I had an awesome idea, therefore writing code is enslavement of the brain.” Then I said “I can’t believe you just thought that” and I ran to my computer to punish myself.
Anyway, here are the reasons that “Thing” is a great word:
- Ironically, “thing” is wide-open for someone to define. Right now, its meaning is neutralized by its ability to be any thing.
- It gets at the diversity of our model.
- It’s totally memorable.
- Simply naming it Thing will entice people to figure out what it means.
Plus it is fun and catchy.
