> Oh great. He just made the next developer (and perhaps himself in the future) have to figure out what's a "complete" and what's an "incomplete" user. Good luck.

> Okay, but we are writing code not for businessmen, right? We are writing it for other devs and for ourselves. Honestly, the name "CompleteUsers" doesn't make sense to me at all. The initial version with "WhereNotNull" is way clearer for me and probably would be for most other  programmers

> As you can already find opposing opinions to this, you can reaffirm that naming things is not an easy problem...

> This makes sense until the hasPassword method. It is more understandable to a programmer, and it is straightforward. In the context of a programmer, the specific implementation details are inconsequential to a business person as long as the function works.

> To name properly, you just have to dare to name it properly. For example: if someone is a douchebag, name him douchebag. Not some "not very nice boy"
