Comment on How we restarted our company in two weeks during Y Combinatorparent

Comments

A startup culture meme. There'll be another hip suffix (or prefix) in due time.

Honest question, does this meme provide any actual benefits? Wouldn't it cause confusion of your brand?

I don't know - I always think it's funny choice of words. I like homejoy a lot actually - but I don't know if they've caused me to feel "joy."

That said - nicely done on such a fast turnaround.

The response to the name has been overwhelmingly positive. We still have a ton of people come up to us just to say how much they love the name. Thanks!

It's a simple solution if you don't want to spend a lot of time on a name. It means you can get back to providing an amazing service or product all that much quicker.

Worse than this is the use of the word "delight" to describe UI. I cringe every time.
