I think I remember being told using “do” in your method names when programming is: BAD! Now that it’s come up, I have nothing to justify this memory. Does anyone else share a similar ideal? Is there any documentation backing up this claim? Searching for “do” is problematic. 😑

```auto

doPlay(); // Why do?

```
