why does everyone have to use the typical american nerd poo poo. diversify yourselves. did you take zero classes on foreign literature/cinema/music in uni? oh right, you're most CS majors, so no, you didn't :negative:

that's not what this thread is about. if you want to start a thread about naming software after tolstoy characters or kpop groups or w/e then have at it

no but for real i have put in a request at work that we use like not pop culture stuff but either literal names or something that has an allegory in a positive way (something that'd intentionally crash a service with a ddos may be king midas or "local-service-ddos-crasher" for example)

or stuff with a logical convention (us-east-rack2-row3)

the CNCF "you can have a short fun name but you also need an standard official simple descriptive name" rule works well imo. envoy is "envoy" but also " Cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy"

i mean yes but if you lay out several tables with

- "software widgets named after greco/roman mythology things"
- "software widgets named after lotr poo poo"
- "software widgets named after instruments in a gamelan ensemble"
- "software widgets named after weeb nonsense"
- "software widgets named after <whatever the gently caress shows up in ready player one>"
- "software widgets named after sufi saints"
- "software widgets named after some garbage from the epic of manas"
- "software widgets named after urodela amphibians"

and ask people to rank them on a scale of "how likely was this nomenclature designed by an american software engineer circa 2020", are you really gonna tell me you're not gonna get somewhat consistent results?
