Have you ever heard of Kubernetes, a tool that is so much in the upswing that it dominated the last Amazon announcements, that Docker decided to integrate with it despite being its competitor in some regards, that hundreds of thousands of engineers suffer to use for some time now because our bosses heard it would be a cool thing at some conference (and bosses don't really care if such a software is finished or not)?
If so, you might want to reconsider the name of your tool/framework/whatever, because the name Helm is basically taken in many engineers' head.
- yborg 9y agoThis may surprise you, but DevOps engineers are probably not the primary intended audience of this project.
- sicher 9y agoAnd another pretty big, and probably different, audience: https://emacs-helm.github.io/helm/ https://emacs-helm.github.io/helm/
- k_bx 9y agoI thought it's a fuzzy matching plugin in Emacs.
- rainbowmverse 9y agoI've never heard of this Helm. Meanwhile, Helm the synth has been around for a couple of years and seems to do fine among its intended audience (which I'm in). There's a reason trademarks tend to be constrained to specific markets.
- khedoros1 9y agoFirst commit for Helm: early November 2015. First commit for the synth: Mid-August 2013. First commit for the Emacs plugin: Mid-July 2007. If any of them should change, it's the ones that came after. But they aren't even remotely the same kind of software, so I don't see that it matters much. There isn't much room for confusion.
