I'm assuming just about everyone is aware of the meaning of the word. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Shite https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Shite Kind of depressing that people find this amusing.

It's sad because it's not hard to pick a name for a project that isn't a swear word.

  I once had a gig someplace where the tradition was to name Hamming Distance 1 away from swear words. Best of both worlds?

  You might want to look that up in French, but replace the 'y' with 'ie'...

Could you please expound on why you believe that to be depressing?

  Sure. It's not the coarse language that I object to — it's the lazy, juvenile humour. It's similar to penisJS[0] — a software analogue to children defacing the chairs in their school classrooms with drawings of genitalia. I think it's a pretty bad look for the industry. Not to say there shouldn't be humour — there should be more humour. Personally, my most popular software projects are purely comedic, and they're also a little more coarse than this. To put it another way: I'd prefer the software humour to be a little more Sean Lock and a little less Beavis and Butt-Head.

    I hear you. Thank you for sharing your thinking. All I will say is, from where I stand, it is all working as intended; the code and the phraseology :)
