Unrelated; what does "mendral" mean? It's a very... unmemorable word

I am sure you heard before: there are only two hard things in CS: cache invalidation and naming things.

In the history of this company, I can honestly say that this SQL/LLM thing wasn't the hardest :)

And the other of the two problems is off-by-one errors.
Google says a shaft or spindle on a lathe, to which work is fixed while being turned. They could probably make up a story about "we're the center point that lets your LLM work" or something.
That would be a mandrel.
Whoops! Thanks
