Comment on Show HN: Caffeine – Minimum viable back end for prototyping

Comments

Why do people overload common nouns so much when naming a project? A name should confer its essence.

You know, naming is one of the two really hard problems in CS. But there is apparently a hack which is to open dictionary on random page and point your finger on random word.

My next application is going to be called Toreutics which is going to break this word for every person that actually uses it.

Kinda like breaking the word Meta. Which I suppose is actually aimed at making things difficult to search for.

Caffeine suggests a jump start, which is what this tool purports to do.
