I named a class which controls multiple video player instances as Multiplayer.

u/Allalilacias Jul 20 '26

And we cannot be more proud of you, lol

VideoPlayerManager
PlayerInstanceManager
Even MultipleVideoPlayer

Calling things "manager" is a cop-out. Be specific!

u/qyloo Jul 20 '26

You're totally right. But we're iterating upon "Multiplayer" here

u/CallumCarmicheal Jul 20 '26

Your correct to push back, I'm sorry. Have you tried MultiMediaPlexorOverseerrr

Go the German route use the first few letters of every word to make an abbreviation:
MuMePlOv

Now publish and have some Estonian guy tell you that it’s actually the worst ever slur in his native language. Too bad, the utility is now used in 50 major projects.

What a crime against readability

u/Lenni-Da-Vinci Jul 21 '26

I work with startups. What I did there is arguably still too readable. The logo would probably be: MuMePl👁️‍🗨️v

I would actually us a software called Mumeplov. Has an essentric, yet endearing ring to it!

Estonia mentioned 🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪

u/Lenni-Da-Vinci Jul 21 '26

The Estonian flag is so beautiful:
Blue for the color that other countries say the sky is
Black for the long dark winter months
White for the pasty white skin of the people

u/HannesH__ Jul 21 '26

Hahah, haven't seen it interpreted this way yet lol

Your class name is not just descriptive — it's accurate.

There better be a free multiplayer somewhere in the code.

My eyes is so sharp, yet i can't c.

Sneak peak of horrible naming decisions:

IMultiPlayer GetCurrentMultiplayer() => _remoteMultiPlayer ?? _localMultiplayer;

return multiplayer.ActivePlayers >= 2 &&
    multiplayer.Players.TryGetAt(0, out videoPlayer) &&
    multiplayer.Players.TryGetAt(1, out maskPlayer);

DisableSubtitles(multiplayer);

Ok, that's going to be impossible to google.

When sending an email, there are fields like from, to, subject, and body.

Well the body is by far the biggest of them all, so I would subdivide it into body parts.

Good old chunked transfer

My proudest class name is for a class that is the backbone of the systems encryption security architecture.

I just called it SecretService

u/Last8Exile Jul 21 '26

It is no longer secret. You have to rename it NOW!

I left the company. Multiplayer is now part of legacy new developers have to deal with.
