I suggest when naming a project:

- Don't call it Mercury, everyone has used that name before.
- Don't call it Phoenix, people will laugh when nothing rises from the ashes.
- Use a clear, honest description of what it will do.
- Don't be too honest, Project Run Over Budget And Get Cancelled is hard to get funded

@abstractcode The golden rule of naming things is to never, ever, ever, EVER name anything "Euler".

@abstractcode Call it Project Candiru because the visualization of that adventurous little fish and the pain that it can cause is an apt metaphor for this entire cursed boondoggle

@abstractcode ran over its budget of $0 and got cancelled as soon as someone saw the name

A black swan event is something you think is rare but happens all the time in Perth, Western Australia.

@abstractcode I introduced my children to black swans when we were last in Perth.

I also told them they are related to #honeybadgers #polarbears and #tasmaniandevils. Evil b$stards.

You can do many things on computer.

Don't.

@abstractcode Definitely jam a radio-networked computer into every little thing. /s

Seriously, the networked light bulbs make Douglas Adams' IoT doors look downright sensible by comparison.
