I think software component names should all just be UUIDs.

This way no one is misled by the name. Also, there is much less chance that an offensive name gets picked (either intentional or unintentionally).

There is also much less risk of collisions. In addition, you don’t waste any time trying to come up with a name.



And no pesky scope implied by the name! Now, each of the components can grow in a truly unconstrained manner, enveloping whatever random features were slightly more convenient to add there instead of in a new component. Amazing!
