I'm not sure about that. If management won't let you name the servers after characters in your favorite sci-fi movie, then that is an indication that names matter (ns1 for DNS rather than gandolf or papa_smurf or whatever) and that management is playing the role of the adult while you are acting like a child.
If you want to name servers after fairy tale characters and you will have a tantrum if management won't let you, then you are not mature enough to work for a company. It's called growing-up and being responsible.
- lmm 13y agoEngineers are the ones who will have to use the server names. When management starts insisting things be done a certain way that's called micromanagement and it's the biggest sign your company is about to fail. And good engineers understand the value of memorable names, as well as the less tangible value of good corporate culture.
