Funny story about New Relic: The name is an anagram of the CEO's, "Lew Cirne". Not sure if that's widely known, but he just used it as a placeholder while working as an entrepreneur in residence at a VC fund for his next project, and it stuck.
- mynegation 4y agoFWIW I think New Relic is an awesome name. It has rhythm and slight hint of controversy to it.
- pc86 4y agoI'll be honest, I have no idea what a "hint of controversy" is supposed to mean in this context.
- positr0n 4y agoProbably the juxtaposition of terms New and "Relic" when relics are supposed to be ancient objects.
- quickthrower2 4y ago“New Relic” describes most code committed in the last week!
- asplake 4y agoHint of paradox?
- mynegation 4y agoSorry, cannot edit original comment. As an ESL I fell into a classic “false friends” trap. I meant “paradox”, not a “controversy” (that in English usually means something akin to “bad rep”).
