'Rename immediately when understanding improves' generates churn in shared code: every rename touches every caller, invalidates reviewers' mental maps, and pollutes blame history. In a codebase with many contributors, naming changes should be batched and announced, and the value of a better name should be weighed against the disruption. The article treats renaming as free.
