This is neither good or bad imo. I can't even begin to comprehend why people would think that using a word in a fictional software name given by a developer causes "alienation". It's depressing that people take the time, effort and stress that goes into these rants and succeed. Possibly because those people are the only ones who care about something so.. worthless? useless? I mean, if people get murdered or locked up over this shit I could wrap my head around this edit: It seems a user on Github[0] called 'maxkwallace' addressed the naming issue. This particular user had an encounter with his female colleague which he found to be very awkward: "(...) at one point, I was going through some code with a female engineer, and noticing the name FactoryGirl led to an awkward exchange (...)" Later, he gets asked how the conversation was awkward. He added: "(...) The woman I was working with didn't explicitly say that she felt uncomfortable (people almost never do), but my subjective impression was that she felt uncomfortable. I also felt uncomfortable."
