As I work on UI prototypes for the new web venture, I've been brainstorming names for the web site we're building. I've surveyed some of the finest minds in the software developer community (for very small values of "fine"), and we've come to a collective realization: naming a website is hard. Really, really hard.
privatevoid is a pretty cool name to be sure, but in the end the irony of linking to (un?)intentionally bad domain names and then putting up fellowhackers as a choice was too funny to pass up.
Cheers, I see your readership in growing by ten thousands every week.
and from this post forward, Jeff’s readers will forever be trapped in a naming jihad. For now, I’m in a minority, but my pick is the best one, I don’t care what everyone else says. The name I picked is smarter, faster, better, *er than the others. And I, and those that picked the same name, are -by extension- smarter, faster, better, *er !
Too bad you can’t get permission from Ward and Cunningham to use pragmaticprogrammers.{net,com,org}. It seems most of what you do here is the spirit of that book - but maybe that’s not what this new site will be about.
