I’m not sure what you mean by that, what’s in this context is object and what is a subject.
It very easy not to be confused if remember that nouns are the objects or in other words subjects of given function/transformation, and verbs are the functions or in other words labels for transformations we do to our data, objects, the nouns.
It’s actually the case of: IO inspects this vs this is being inspected by IO And I think we do care more about this than IO and it’s easier to skim code if this is at the beginning of the line (or at least closer the the side which I’m starting to read given line).
If you are telling someone about your friend Bob and how you spend last evening, would you rather tell I wen't with Bob to a bar or Bob and I wen't to a bar? Both versions are perfectly understandable, but which one is the correct one? 
that’s why I mentioned about seriousness and sole developer.
