Poor naming choice, considering CodeGuru.com has been around for what, decades?

• mavsman 7y ago
  I worked on the relaunch of Cloud9 --> AWS Cloud9 and there was an extensive naming process shortly before the launch of the service, both for AWS Cloud9 and for the term "environments" (which was previously workspaces). I can tell you that there were lots of managers, PMs, directors, etc involved and they considered tons of naming options. They took into account third party services/products, first party services/products, and other things that might have overlap. This was likely the situation here and they accepted this as a drawback. That said, you're free to disagree and that doesn't mean it was the right choice, just wanted to point out that this was not an oversight.

    > just wanted to point out that this was not an oversight With codeguru.com being a long established site, doesn't that make it worse?

  I'm thinking Amazon doesn't care a whole lot about the IP of others. I say that based on reports of rampant counterfeit goods and complaints about Amazon copying product design for their in-house brands.
