Research direction
No implementation file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing the 12-comment naming discussion and the current command name described in the issue; done requires a decided replacement name and an agreed scope for updating user-facing references.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The current name of this tool is Dockter. It's a portmanteau of doctor (either the medical or PhD kind) and Docker (the container platform) because it's aim is to make it easier for researchers (either the medical or PhD kind 🙂 ) to create Docker containers.
But there are five issues with the name:
- 🗣️ Hard to distinguish in verbal communications: "Was that Docker or Dockter?"
- ✍️ Ambiguity in spelling: "Dockter" or "Docktor"?
- 🖥️ Confusion at the command line:
dockter build .is very similardocker build .and looking for that extratcan consume an extra brain cycle or two to figure out which tool you are using. - 💻 Autocomplete at the command line: many people use autocomplete in the shell and having the first four letters the same makes this less useful.
As the famous joke says (well actually a riff on the original joke):
There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors.
