# Dealing with the Second Hardest Thing in Computer Science

This presentation summarizes my understanding of best practices in naming things for software development.

The title is inspired by the following quote:

> "There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things."</br>
> \- Phil Karlton

The slides can be seen here:<br>

## Development

This project uses Python 3.14 (see `.python-version`) with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management, [Quarto](https://quarto.org/) for rendering slides, and [just](https://github.com/casey/just) as a command runner.

### Prerequisites

```bash
# Install just (macOS)
brew install just
```

### Setup

```bash
just install
```

### Just Commands

```bash
just help     # Show all available commands
just install  # Install Python dependencies
just update   # Update Python dependencies
just render   # Render slides to HTML
just preview  # Start a live preview with auto-reload
just open     # Alias for preview (live-reload dev server over localhost)
just clean    # Remove generated files and caches
just check    # Check the Quarto and Python setup
just          # Install dependencies and start live-reload preview
```
