      I was on a product team at one point, before you joined :) There were dumb names for sure. But the naming RFC was a severe overreaction when it wanted to ban anything other than mundane vogon-esque names. The author also wanted to lecture me about AutoDispose being a bad namepic.twitter.com/Jofb8ZLVtt

      Can't comment on the RFC since I wasn't there. I think there are exceptions (AutoDispose is clear enough about what it does) but I know so many services and app names that had names with no relation to what the services did.

      Like I said, there were bad examples. The RFC should have said no dumb names, not the extreme "no code names at all". That clearly didn't stick anyway when directors picked the names 🤷‍♂️: helix, carbon, gladwell, luna, etc

      Gladwell was top-secret project, and it was only codename! Services behind it had proper names :)

      Top secret in the sense that everyone that worked on it would immediately tell you they're working on a top secret project that they can't talk about :) (For the rest of the class - this was the tipping project)

      And top secret in the sense everyone not lazy to read Submitqueue would be aware of it. But we even had a protocol for disclosing our intentions!

      The difference is that project names are supposed to be transient and intended to increase obscurity, which is the opposite of what you want with service names. However, I still think Guinness, Alloy, Helix, and Carbon probably were better off using descriptive names.
