The following is a quote from Mike Gunderloy:

"Suppose the same thinking had been in place when object-oriented programming started to creep into VB 4? "Oh, let's not call them classes; VB developers don't have time to figure that term out. Let's call them boxes instead.

"Imagine the difficulty that VB developers would have had in communicating with the rest of the development world."

Love it, but "Rethinkify" is probably still too technical. Some alternatives:

"Rethink" and "Reconsider" came to mind, but they didn't seem to convey the right meaning.

"Try Again" is closer to the VB mindset, but it implies that the original version is somehow a failure.

And my preferred option:

"Do Over" A succinct description that even a VB'er could understand. Plus, it dovetails neatly with the wailing that you'll get when you explain to them what refactoring is - "What? You want me to do it again? I had a hard enough time doing it the first time!"

Oh, I do hope that the VB team sees this! I'm a VB guy too (though I use C# as well), and this is too funny!

excellent! I had to put it on my blog after David Stone pointed to it. I'm sure Paul Vick and Don Box will find this one quickly!
