In my personal experience, which may differ to yours, "product" and "products" are examples of visually similar and easy to confuse variable names.
Finding a collective noun or compound word instead of "products" seems to save me some mistakes. https://twitter.com/philhawksworth/status/1428656544963497984
@piccalilli_ @bencodezen Got it.
Puppies and kittens only (in exactly even quantities) from here on in.

@jaffathecake @heydonworks @bencodezen Agreed.
But please don't stop my fun of adopting the following (self-explanatory) variable names:

@jaffathecake @heydonworks @bencodezen Does it make the need for thoughtfully naming your variables go away? If so, I'm ready for some fun.
Regardless of the other characteristics of the programming language, if it had a troupe data type, I'd embrace it like a long lost sibling. https://twitter.com/tjcrowder/status/1428665429929644032
@piccalilli_ @bencodezen Note to self:
If you use pseudocode to illustrate a point, make it far more pseudo than you were planning. Or better still, make the point without it.
And perhaps I'll park my tweet about embracing CSS in JS in order to polyfill for "colour" for another day.

@heydonworks @jaffathecake @bencodezen Fair... the nub of the advice here was just to try to avoid simply pluralizing a noun.
Within that, sure, there are likely some good conventions/preferences to also imply things more deeply about the data type.

@jaffathecake @bencodezen Yeah... I thought that after posting too.. but I think that the general point about not simply plauralizing nouns remains.
@Hicksyfern @_phzn @bencodezen That's true.
My code comments are entirely English vernacular here and not intended to have deeper CS meaning. But I think the principle stands regardless if it were a set, list, array, collection, bunch, clutch, gaggle, herd, or troupe. :)

@dutchcelt @bencodezen Yeah. It has always felt obvious to me to just pluralize nouns for collections of that noun. And that reads wonderfully. But spotting a missing or a superfluous "s" is so easy to botch, even (especially?!) after staring at the code for a while!
@rem @contentful I've always used the latter. And that's what I hear used by the folks I know who work there.
The amount of time I spend debugging a common mistake dropped considerably after @bencodezen advised me to rethink my naming conventions for collections of things.
Bye-bye "products".
Hello "productList".

@JarrettLusso @jaffathecake @Netlify Aha! I'll get to reading. Thanks for the link.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Edge Handlers release should be a huge boon for this sort of thing. Just to put it on your radar.

@JarrettLusso @jaffathecake @Netlify Yeah I'd be interested in hearing more about the issues being experienced here.
Perhaps best on https://answers.netlify.com since that usually makes discussion easier than on Twitter, and also captures the issue for the attention of the team and community.

@codebeast @AWSAmplify Awesome hire for @AWSAmplify! And congrats on your exciting next adventure, Chris! ✨
