Tangential question: is it common for frameworks to use the same name as a package from another framework? I had never heard of Django LiveView, but have used Phoenix’s Liveview and assumed that’s what it was. Not sure if I like that? I.e. does it imply some sort of endorsement or partnership? I do like that Laravel went with Livewire to distinguish it.

There are two things I'm really bad at: invalidating the cache and naming frameworks. It has that name because it's very inspired. It's an adaptation of Django.

  • And well done! I really prefer very descriptive names, even at the expense of originality than some ridiculous invention like "Nano Banana".

    • IIUC the "Nano Banana" name was originally used on LMArena when the model had not yet been announced; the purpose of the name was therefore to be as opaque as possible. I assume they hadn't originally intended to keep using it after the announcement, but it unexpectedly took off among users.
