Perhaps it's a hopelessly misguided attempt to encourage women to get involved with the project, but I think it's just an attempt to grab attention via shock value.
Cringeworthy.
- lignuist 14y agoI don't think women get attracted to the name (just because they are women). I think it's more for people with a sense of humor.
- MartinCron 14y agoI think it's more for people with a sense of humor More accurately: "for tone-deaf people with a seventh-grade sense of humor"
- lignuist 14y ago"seventh-grade sense of humor" Even if this would be the case: is this a bad thing? Why so serious?
- MartinCron 14y agoA seventh-grade sense of humor is fine, when you're in seventh grade. I'm not ashamed to say I'm more sophisticated than that. If you want me to make me laugh OR take you at all seriously, you're going to have to step up your game. I love humor and levity. Github and Zappos are both great examples of companies that don't take themselves too seriously without being juvenile.
- mnicole 14y agoThe first thing I thought when I saw this was "Great, another silly project name, but now everyone's going to feel awkward saying it." I'm the first to crack jokes on the team, but I don't need my co-workers giggling my direction every time they need to mention it. Not to mention that some [dev] environments aren't very considerate of women/women's issues, and it has the potential (if referenced in/as a joke) to make some people really uncomfortable. Just not worth it.
