Comment on Lessons Learnt Failing to Monetize My Ruby Gem

Comments

Roger, one consideration that could otherwise seem trivial or irrelevant is that the word “pig” is not free of connotations, and is not often used positively in many respects outside of pig-relevant contexts. It probably would have been OK in a farming or ore processing context, but without grounding for the joke it’s a rough sell.

I regretted the name after launch. It seemed fun & playful at first, but soon its limitations became pretty apperent.

Next time I'm just going to use a "Does what it says on the tin" kind of approach to naming.
