I find it fascinating that so many projects start with figuring out the name for the thing. The satirical flavor of this is securing the domain name for the project before work has even begun. Perhaps it can be used as a sign of whether it’s meant to be: if the domain name is available or not. Astrological building, divining the heavenly signs from the DNS registrars.
I liked how you connected the concept of naming to mental file systems 😆 Language and labels really are powerful. Your post made me think of terms like "non-binary" and "person of color" and the implications of being defined by what you are not (i.e. not man or woman and not white).
