naming things is hard. Googling for other things already named this shouldn't be.

  You're right, any suggestions for a better name are welcome!

    Maybe name it after a wizard. Albus?

      If you're going for wizard names, there are a few under-known (not unknown, but not widely known) wizards in Middle earth: * Radagast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radagast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radagast) * Valinorian: Alatar, Middle Earth: Morinehtar (Saruman, ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizards_in_Middle-earth#Names https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizards_in_Middle-earth#Names) * Valinorian: Pallando, Middle Earth: Rómestámo (Gandalf, ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizards_in_Middle-earth#Names https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizards_in_Middle-earth#Names) This link appears to have a few well-known wizards in the DnD lore: https://old.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/16qr5pz/ingame_famous_wizards_of_the_forgotten_realms/k1yqowc/ https://old.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/16qr5pz/ingame_famous_...

    I like Darwin - could easily move to CodeDarwin, GitDarwin, DarwinHub, AutoDarwin, etc. I think the urge to keep everything as one goofy name is overkill, and spread bc everyone wants their project to be as central as python. But there’s plenty of combo names - numpy, scikit, and github, off the top of my head. It does open up the semantic space by about 6 orders of magnitude, just counting English nouns. Obv I’m in the minority there tho… for single-word names I’d focus on the themes of building, concretizing, deploying, maintaining, etc, with a bit of the typical LLM wizard/ai/scientist terms. Sooo perhaps (some play on-)… - Hephaestus / Vulcan - Atlas - Ancient wonders like Troy, colossus, pyramids, Great Wall - synonyms for “base”: foundation, stratum/substrate, core, nexus Love the app :). As you can tell, I vastly prefer thinking up names to actually doing work! If I had my way it would be dAIrwin, but that’s why no one asks me these things lol

      Replying cause a real idea came to me in the shower: pick a more specific scientist! Wikipedia credits Turing (taken, obv), Forsyth, Cramer, and Koza as inventors of genetic programming, for instance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_programming

    Definitely "Murphy". There's a law about it. ;)

  "Darwin" is already pretty apt though. There's famously even an award named that which is on topic for if/when this goes wrong. ;)
