It never even registered with me until you asked, but that makes bitbucket the worst possible name, maybe next to "trashfire.com", for a service that is supposed to store data.
- skrebbel 5y agoHahaha trashfire.com is an excellent name for a saas, love it.
- buu700 5y agoTIL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_bucket https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_bucket So as a metaphor I guess it's roughly equivalent to /dev/null or the recycling bin? Yeah, probably not the best name for a mission-critical immutable data store, unless it was meant to be ironic.
- projectileboy 5y agoWell, it is Atlassian, so that kind of works.
- gnulinux 5y agoMore like kind of bugs out.
- jayd16 5y agoIts not like "git" or "mercurial" are all that inviting either.
- unwind 5y agoOf course (oh, how it makes me feel old too) that fantastic name is already registered and parked, and available for resale at the nice, nice price of $4,395 from HugeDomains. :(
- krylon 5y agoI think there is a German ISP called SNAFU, so there's that. Anyway, I call dibs on trainwreck.io!
