you know what's ironic? that in every thread there's one of you people complaining about the name - you're all just like cockroaches! no matter how successful cockroachdb becomes, no matter how technically impressive the product becomes, the naysayers never die.

can you imagine 20 years ago someone complaining that google wasn't safe for work because it had a silly name?

newsflash dummy: stop saying/thinking/repeating stupid things like this and it'll stop being the case that everyone is so conservative that silly names are inadmissible.

That attitude does not fly with your boss.

Why limit the adoption for no good reason by choosing a weird name intentionally?

[mlevental]

do you not understand perpetuation? "doesn't fly with my boss" ---> "won't fly when I'm boss". also how about having a conversation on the merits? does that fly with your boss? does with mine.

There's also the irony in their name - anticensor.
