- MattRix 4y agoThat’s why there are multiple threads. The real problem is that people are bringing up this same issue in a dozen top level comments.

- plugin-baby 4y agoIn this particular case it’s helpful, as the link is to github.
- dotancohen 4y agoNaming things is hard. I submit that as a core tenet of the software industry, we will discuss the naming of things so long as there are things to discuss.
- nine_k 4y agoNaming things uniquely with common words is hard. Good names like Linux, Google, Kodak, Adidas, etc are instantly recognizable and cannot be mistaken for anything else.
