I find this one especially egregious because Jepsen looks a lot like Jeppesen the aerospace products company. They mostly do charts and stuff though so I was pretty confused that they were mentioned alongside the term 'aerospike'

IIRC, Jepsen here is named after Carly Rae Jepsen, the pop singer.
As in "call me maybe", both a reference to the song lyrics and what might happen in a distributed system when a network partition occurs.
