Think the issue is not with named parameters per se, but with mixing domain logic = there are two different user creation flows, that should be doing two different things (or mostly different things), but are guarded with boolean flag.

As author points out: "So I’ll usually just make it explicit:

createAdminUser(user);

createRegularUser(user);

Now there’s not much left to interpret. To be fair, this isn’t always bad. Sometimes this is completely fine:

toggleMenu(true);

That’s clear enough. This tends to work when:

- the meaning is obvious

- the function is small and local

- there’s only one flag "
