Please don’t make insubstantial comments about project names. There is a plague of this kind of comment here.

Well op has 3x more karma then you which means he's 3x more likely to understand the hn vibe then you. Secondly, the famous joke says that there are 2 hard problems in computer science - cache invalidation and naming things, so names of the computer projects are legitimate topic.

    I rarely comment hence the low karma, which isn’t a reliable indicator anyway (plus this is not Reddit). And besides, this is my fourth or fifth account.

    Naming comments are too frequently used to derail conversations here, particularly threads on FOSS projects. These threads never lead to a productive conversation and I fail to see any purpose other than trolling or “joking around” (if you can even call it that).

      Then just downvote/flag and move on. Commenting just to complain furthers the derailment, here were are 4 layers in...

      imo there's nothing wrong with discussing project names.
