- fhub 3y agoAs someone with a surname that is easily made fun of, I urge you to just leave off irrelevant quips.
- NyxWulf 3y agoMy maternal grandfather changed his last name when he turned 18, from the German Uhren to Uhrey. If your last name bothers you, fix it.
- Lacerda69 3y agoUhren sounds fine to me, now if it was Huren i would understand
- triyambakam 3y agoIt was probably frequently pronounced like "urine"
- jacquesm 3y agoWhat's wrong with renting?
- Lacerda69 3y agoIts a slur for prostitutes in German ;-)
- throwaway202351 3y agoBut updating all your github commits to your new name is a pain. :(
- codersfocus 3y agoNomen est omen is a saying since the Roman times, and there are scientific studies that show names do have an effect on professions (eg there are more people named Art working with Art than youd statistically expect)
- bigmattystyles 3y agoIn that case, poor Bickus Dickus
- bandrami 3y agoThe US government's global anti-corruption envoy is named Rich Nephew. That still kills me every time he's in the news.
- hanche 3y agoI don’t suppose he has an uncle named Bob?
- ta93754829 3y agonominative determinism. I did a whole lot of research into this because my surname is Opmomfucker and yeh it checks out.
- codersfocus 3y agoI don’t think it works for legally changed names. Though I can see why you’d do it, Cumguzzler is rather crude in the modern age
- aaron695 3y agoIt gets boring hearing people who can't program or manage blurt out 'move fast and break things' whenever they hear of failure. Learn to code. Or if you're not smart enough learn project management. Alternatively stop using sayings in other peoples fields. Do something dumb like journalism.
- myself248 3y agoI think it's tiring when an industry that has no physical things to break, adopts a saying that flippantly implies that other industries are slow simply because they're not irresponsible enough. I've had quite enough broken things, thank you very much.
- rkagerer 3y agoHeck, I've suffered enough broken software
- wnevets 3y agoIts amusing that you think that I don't program. Ultimately hacker news is a tech focused hub and home to a lot of devs where that phrase resonates.
- anaganisk 3y agoLearning to code is smart? Astronauts, doctors, lawyers, bankers and other gazillion jobs be damned. Coding is the dumbest job in my opinion compared to PM, or journalism. Could you survive the Ukraine war coding?
- beowulfey 3y agoIs this a bot? What a strange thing to say in a thread about submersibles.
