I swear some companies do this out of some perverse habit: one place I worked at used to prefix repos, internal modules, infrastructure names, etc with the name of the company.

Which was so frustrating because we all work here, we know what it’s called, it doesn’t add anything, there’s no sister-company we share resources with, all it does is make it harder to distinguish between 2 similarly named, but entirely too long internal applications.

I worked with a company that did this as well - they even went as far as prefixing their _slack_ channels with $(companyName)…
