Dealing with the Second Hardest Thing in Computer Science\n\nThis presentation summarizes my understanding of best practices in naming things for software development.\n\nThe title is inspired by the following quote:\n\n\u003e \"There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.\"\u003c/br\u003e\n\u003e \\- Phil Karlton\n\nThe slides can be seen here:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003chttps://indrajeetpatil.github.io/second-hardest-cs-thing/\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://indrajeetpatil.github.io/second-hardest-cs-thing/\"

[uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management, [Quarto](https://quarto.org/) for rendering slides, and [just](https://github.com/casey/just) as a command runner.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n```bash\n# Install just (macOS)\nbrew install just\n```\n\n## Setup\n\n```bash\n# Install dependencies\njust install\n\n# Or update to latest versions\njust update\n```\n\n## Common Commands\n\n```bash\njust help      # Show all available commands\njust render    # Render slides to HTML\njust preview   # Live preview with auto-reload\njust open      # Open rendered slides in browser\njust clean     # Remove generated files\njust check     # Check Quarto and Python setup\njust           # Install, render, and open slides (default)\n```\n\n# Feedback\n\nI'd love to hear thoughts and comments [here](https://github.com/IndrajeetPatil/second-hardest-cs-thing/issues).\n\n# Code of Conduct\n\nPlease note that the second-hardest-cs-thing project is released with a
