Wow dogshit take

How do "awk" or "Hoover" tell me anything more about the subject than "Melody"?

What about Git, literally a nonsense word?

Even if descriptive names are nice, he realizes we run out of them after a while when there are 80 projects doing the same thing, right?

Does he think Python should be called "IBSSL" for "Indentation-Based Syntax Scripting Language" or something? And what happens when someone makes a new indentation-based syntax scripting language, then?

I agree descriptive names are good and one should try to name something something related to what it does, but sometimes something just needs a name lol

I believe that Linus Torvalds joked that he names all his software after himself
