## Minutes


### Consider folding TSC into CTC


Rich: Defer until Rod is here and have the conversation in the issue tracker until then?


James: Makes sense. Also, TSC call is tomorrow so it can be discussed then.


### Debugging: name every function


Rich: It seemed like a good idea initially, but it is not clear if it is a good thing in all cases (some +, some -). Issue is marked as good first contribution which means lots of new contributors are coming in.
Myles wanted a quick resolution, but it is not clear there is a quick resolution. Someone needs to sit down and come up with a list of cases where it would be beneficial


Brian: Prototype functions?


Rich: That is a case where it doesn't add value but doesn't hurt either. There are other cases where it does remove information.


Sakthipriyan: One example was fs.readFileSync..


Brian: V8 may also be inferring names from a variable in cases when you do `let a = () => {...}`. Another case to take into consideration.


Rich: Move back to the issue tracker; remove 'good-first-contribution' label until we have documented what should/shouldn't be done. I can work with someone, or come up with documentation.


Floor: General agreement? Yes, general agreement.
