  If you're not aware why you're being downvoted - the URL of your submission goes there anyway, so you didn't need to post this. :)

    Maybe he edited the submission URL afterwards.

    Yeah, initially I had posted the link to the Yahoo Developer blog page announcing the same. But then I thought it would be apt to provide the link to the github repo itself , since the readers would feel more interested in the actual stuff !! So I added the link as a comment without realizing that the source link was updated too.

That's the only name of internal yahoo projects i really like the Y at the start. They append Y to anything. So there's usually names like YCoolThing. And you go about "why you are questioning CoolThing?!" but YSlow is just perfect.

  > So there's usually names like YCoolThing. And you go about "why you are questioning CoolThing?!" How can you read Y as Why? Is it WhyCombinator for you?

    Im guessing it's both because of homophones in general and the fact that yslow is a deliberate play on this - "why is this page slow?"

    Everybody says why-combinator, no? Certainly everyone I've ever heard, including interviewers, YC founders, pg...

      Of course I say why-combinator. He was talking about interpretation of names beginning with `Y`, rather than pronunciation.

    It's read that way, but semantically, it refers to an actual thing in computer science, so it's not just a cute name.

    wait you don't? As a non native english speaker I do parse it as "ypsilon combinator" but read it "why" anyway :)

I'm confused, didn't they open source it almost five years ago? http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2007/07/yslow_release_o/ http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2007/07/yslow_rel... (though the license is now BSD.. but is this newer YSlow a different version that was not previously open source?) (Update: Aha, there's a blog post at http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2012/02/welcome-yslow-open-source/ http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2012/02/welcome-y... - it doesn't explain much to do with my question but it seems becoming BSD makes it more open source than under the Mozilla Public License? :-))
