Reminds me of this: Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names
Lmao
Alright alright but surely people’s names are diverse enough such that no million people share the same name.
Who thinks that?
There’s about 5,000 people working at the organization I work at and there’s loads of people who have the same name, first and last.
Name input should exclusively be an infinitely sized canvas, got it.
Falsehoods programmers believe about names:
-
- Names are representable using an n-dimensional infinite canvas. Nobody has a name requiring an (n+1)-dimensional representation.
-
My health insurance company did this with my first name. Now when I communicate with them in any way, even a doctor telemedicine visit,I have to pretend my name is Christophe.
Could’ve gone with Hristopher, I guess?
Christofer
E: scrolled down to realize I’m like the third person to say this. So original 🙄🤷
Krtsfr is as concise as can be
It’s a nickname for Hristorectomy.
Christophe sounds cooler, anyway.
Every substitute teacher I ever had called me Christophe thanks to the school district’s character limit.
As a fellow Christophe, I too have seen this all my life.
It’s comical that so many companies and systems just decided “No one will ever have a name longer than 10 characters, right?”It’s wild considering it was one of the most popular names for a while. There were 3 other Christophe’s in my class at one point.
Cristopher
Christophr
ChristoferSo many options, so few letters
Chrstphr as well
Malprctce, I was named after my uncle, he’s in insurance.
