> Called Project Prometheus

What is it about tech people and being unable to come up with original names?

Every company I have worked for has had two dozen internal tools and projects called "Prometheus".

setting aside the AWS DB offerring I've done 2 "Project: Aurora" in the past 3 years, and a bonus project "Audite" (make sure you say it correctly when execs are around!)

Look, I'm all for "big bets" but when the majority of time and effort goes into the naming, kick-off and t-shirt design, this ain't it.

Reminds me of Matt Levine joking about walking into a hedge fund with a SEC jacket memorabilia.
