Sorry, you just lost beaucoup credibility points. C is just "high-level assembly language". The output looks exactly like the input, modulo some optimizations by the compiler. Every computer programmer knows this. Or should.

I joined Nerdica not long after joining pluspora, but wasn't active there because the (web) UX is pretty poor. But still, it's my main sn now... besides Fosstodon, which is pretty cool.

Somewhere, people have collected this wisdom, I'm sure. Any pointers?

Tell me about it.

Thanks for the age shaming.

> Three times as many young people deal with loneliness compared to older people.

I do wonder what dark hole you pulled that factoid out of.

Eh, I think not.

The "commands" I create are, most often, small tools for my own use, so I don't worry about making the names short. I always try to make the name a verb, or include a verb, e.g. "fetchbookmarks", "deleteduplicates"; one exception would be in the case of converters, in which case "convert" is implicit, e.g. "csv2xml" or whatever; and there may be other cases where the verb is implied. The Huffman Coding is important, though, and I have made some tools I use a lot, so I gave them short names. I use gvim a lot, and the wrapper I wrote for it (which does smart finding - it will load foo.cpp wherever it is under your cwd, as long as there's only one) I named g. I don't expect to distribute this tool, so I don't care. :-)
