What to name a method ?
-
So I am writing this application for key cutting machines and one of the method is to generate codes to feed to the machine that cut actual keys.... So for the next generation developer I am leaving below method signature and a very useful comment... :)
// The Matrix has found you Neo !!!
protected void IAmTheKeyMaker()
{
// And I will show you how deep the rabbit hole runs !!!}
Zen and the art of software maintenance : rm -rf * Math is like love : a simple idea but it can get complicated.

That's rather poor naming! The method name needs to describe its purpose - at least return a boolean and rename it as "AmITheKeyMaker" ;)

I would have gone with
protected void VinzClortho(out Key key)
{
key = new Key();
return key;
}myself. (*) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinz_Clortho[^]

You could have quoted another great movie - of a somewhat different genre: Ghostbusters[^]
Louis: [possessed by Vinz Clortho] I am The Keymaster!
Dana Barrett: [possessed by Zuul] I am The Gatekeeper!But then you would have had to implement a gatekeeper method as well, of course! :laugh:
