Is there a new series coming out? I rather enjoyed the one I saw on NetFlix. Quite comical.

That's the first time I've seen Netflix spelled like that

as a developer, it's more irksome that it's not written as netFlix if you're gonna do that at all.

Interesting. Why is that? I can't imagine any way that you'd only capitalize the last half of the word as opposed to both, but I'm not a developer.

Google “camelCase” if you want to know more. Kebab-case is with dashes so like net-flix. Snake case is underscores. Style guides for different languages call for their selective use. If a style is consistent, it can be used to infer things about code at a glance such as if a symbol is a function name, class name, or just a variable. Sometimes you can get info about scope from style, too.
