Tech naming has become a pet peeve of mine. Too many common nouns are being used.

Something like coffeescript is at least distinct but then you get a hundred things that will be called something like apple juice, based on some in-joke connected to a stack that will be called orchard.

And at a conference, you'll have two animated people arguing over the use of...well...I didn't quite get it, it was loud, but it was the solution to all things and I'll never find out what it was, because what I _thought_ I heard was Spogdog, but Google's got NOTHING.

(If only I knew it was SpŌgDog)

Don't even start me on the Chef ecosystem.
