A Developer's Mental Block

“Wow, that’s a cool thing I wanna build”, you thought, and “Lemme think a name for it”, you said. Well, even after 15 minutes, you couldn’t come up with a name.

If this is you, congratulations! You are a distinguished member of the “Developer can’t name stuff” club.

Sharing from my personal experience, often when I get an idea of building something that definitely will be the next thing you will target while grinding Leetcode 24/7; I can’t seem to write a single line of code without deciding on a cool name first.

“Why?” you ask? Duh, Nobody wants to put in work on a folder named “New_Uber_Idea”. It has to sound something cool like “Drillster, Cashari, X69 Carster” or something to grab your attention.

And because of not being able to settle with a name, often I find myself wasting time just coming up with names that basically sound like the Tesla baby.

If only there was a way to overcome this mental block. What do you guys do when starting something new? I would be glad to learn.
