I agree completely. I love reading about databases, but apparently have been skipping reading about CockroachDB for that same reason subconsciously. I took a deep dive the other day and was amazed that I've seen the name dozens of times and have never bothered to ask what was special about it. It really is a fascinating database.
- AsyncAwait 10y agoWell, given the claimed properties of the database, I can see why they named it this way, but it is not the world's most fortunate name, for sure.
- zzzcpan 10y agoNo, you have not been skipping it subconsciously or seeing it more often, than others, you just feel like you did. People actually have an availability bias [1] that clouds their judgement about unusual things.

- finder83 10y agoInteresting, perhaps so. I did have a moment of realization that I had a negative bias against the name though.
- omginternets 10y agoSame, to the point where I just now realized I know nothing about CockroachDB...
- lallysingh 10y agoI completely wrote it off as a bug database. Only when it came up in conversation did I look it up.
