    Or anything with a variant of utils in the name is a good sign that you're about to enter a tar pit of ones and zeros.

      "unity", "unify", "unification" and "consolidate" are often bad too.

        Any class names with verbs in them. You would think people would realize this, but no ...

        My favorite was a coworker who found himself facing a class, not a method, but a class, named StartSession.

          That’s the session that’s at the start, right?

            Of course it is. They should have used a session queue and then could do:

            my $sessions      = $session->new;
            my $start_session = $sessions->shift;

            Much more flexible that way ;)

  We have to integrate between Ultimus and Maximo. I'm not sure whether they are going to talk to each other or have a comic-book style inter-galactic battle. (Yes, those are real product names.)
