Protip: if your name is in the dictionary or the name of a James Bond movie, and has no relevance whatsoever to the *actual technical problem*, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. STAHP. PLEASE.

Oh for fuck's sake more shitty names. Heartbleed was a great name and technical pun. Shellshock was boring. Meltdown is generic garbage. Spectre isn't even clever. "Skyfall", whatever it is, is even worse. Can we stop this race to the bottom please?https://twitter.com/11rcombs/status/953859524645015552 …

it's a Bond reference, playing off how Spectre is a Bond villain organization

Yes, which means it's riffing off another shitty name with zero technical relevance (other than the first four letters, which aren't even uniquely identifying). The *point* of Heartbleed was that it was an amazingly succinct description of the problem.

Maybe but what. Is. The. Actual. Problem. T_T. The days of HeartBleed being about TLS _Heart_beats _bleed_ing memory contents were great.

Yes, they were kind of lame but at least immediately pointed to the vulnerable software. The current crop of names doesn't even manage that. Unless Skyfall is about Skylake, and even then, barely.

"Hector Martin", I mean who comes up with that name, anyway? Two first names? Someone was confused!
I make fun of your name because your tweet is silly. They are just names, and your opinions are just that — opinions.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
