I am an OpenEdge (aka Progress) developer that loves clean code and good looking applications that are easy to use. My main pet project is the Progress DataDigger
I'd like to thank you for reading my first article, and providing some constructive feedback.
My intention was never to use an overly sexualized term, to extend the reach of my work. I found it to be an exact representation of the feelings that I had on a regular basis when a constant in code was represented by SCREAMING_SNAKE case.
It would appear that my understanding of the term is not as common as I initially thought. I have even spent the morning researching other sites and blogs in a futile attempt to find supporting evidence, and have turned up empty handed. I am happy though, that there is at least one person that does appear to have interpreted the term in the same way I initially have.
I shall edit my article with hopefully another punchy description, that does not offend the masses.
Hey, man. Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your level-headed response to my comments. I thought you wrote a really great, thought-provoking article and I'm glad that you could understand my criticism in your use of a term often reserved for describing sexual assault to describe how a variable typed in all-caps makes developers feel. I'm certain you didn't intend any harm in choosing that phrase, but I didn't believe its inclusion helped to further the mission statements or code of conduct of this site.
Once again, thanks for accepting my criticism and having an open dialogue about this.
Yeah, actually, you're right! But since you started out with an opinion, I joined in. And to be honest, I still like it ....

But of course! Without an open dialogue, one cannot learn and grow.
