Can't wait to put my data into a new Google Product that will totally not get cancelled in 3 months.
- TechBro8615 3y agoTailwind is a CSS framework, and some soon-to-be cancelled product from Google that shares (stole) its name isn't going to change that in my mind. Honestly, that name collision seems in poor taste. They couldn't come up with a name that's not already used by a popular open source project?
- wildrhythms 3y agoYou think the VPs and marketing people who name this shit ever ask an engineer for their opinion? Lol
- TechBro8615 3y agoI have no idea what VPs and marketing people at Google do, but whatever it is, they don't appear to be very good at it.
- meibo 3y agoTailwind is a word in the English language, first mentioned in 1897: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tailwind https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tailwind People always complain when companies trademark actual words as product names, can't have it both ways.
- pphysch 3y agoIt's pretty obvious that when you prefix a product name with "Project" that's its not necessarily final. If the experiment is a success, it will indubitably be shipped under a less verbose name that doesn't collide.
- tpmx 3y agoIt's called "Tailwind CSS".
- jsnell 3y agoI know that nothing will stop HN readers from rewarding yet another repetition of this shallow and repetitive joke. But it seems particulary mis-applied in this instance. This is labs, these are not billed as products in the first place! The headline is "help test early-stage experiments".
