This time we exploring types as means of communication. If you’re getting value from this podcast and would like to support it, you can do that by becoming a patreon. It helps us make time for more of these conversations.

This time we talk about design patterns in the context of communication through code. And about a lot of other things. This reflects very well, what well applied design patterns are: something, that can ease your cognitive load, without being noticed much. To compensate for the audio mishap on my side last week, this week we have some improvements. Erik has a better microphone n’ow. If you wonder, why he’s so much better to understand now, that’s it. Enjoy, and have as much fun as we had recording.

Naming things is one of the most difficult things in software development. In this episode we discuss traps, antipatterns, and guidelines. You might notice, that we are getting more relaxed on the microphone. We hope, you have just as much fun, as we had.

In order to communicate efficiently through your code, you have to know your language, it’s features, and idioms.

In our first episode, we give an overview of what we are talking about, when we say, that code is communication. It’s neither detailed, nor even complete, but touches on the most important aspects of communicating through code.
