- isaacremuant 1y ago> Jay Kreps chose to name the software after the author Franz Kafka because it is "a system optimized for writing", and he liked Kafka's work. From Wikipedia.
- atombender 1y agoA system optimized for writing could also describe the machine in Kafka's "In the Penal Colony".
- clippy99 1y agoKafkaesque to configure and get running for simple tasks.

- physicles 1y agoThat’s funny, I assumed it was called Kafka because the act of processing items in a queue over and over could be described as kafkaesque.
- theyinwhy 1y agoIt is called Kafka because it can write.
- throw310822 1y agoIt's a bit like calling a dictation software "Hitler" because he also liked to dictate.
- alt227 1y agoThats a brilliant idea, although if I ever create a dictation software I am going to call it 'Mussolini'.
