It took me months of using the tool before I found some appreciation for the name copilot. In software, names are notoriously hard but I think the team who named copilot nailed it! Any other software names that have really impressed you?

Copilot would be a good name if they left it at that. But Microsoft created about 15 different products, all some variant of that name.

Yah maybe they over capitalized on the one great name too many places

I cannot say i share the appreciation. But that is because of how broadly it is applied.

365 CoPilot
GitHub Copilot
Copilot Pro
Copilot Studio
Teams Copilot
Security Copilot

...and more...

That’s fair they definitely did over capitalize on it

I've always been really partial to the name Slack. I think it's quippy, quick, and easy to turn into a verb. Which is important, lol.

The verb has a twinge of offensiveness.. I’m not slacking you are!

Clawdbot or Openclaw, love the name. Will it try to take over the world at some point? Maybe, but at least the name is fun.

There’s a theme, you like the word claw

Twitter. And tweet. Iconic.

So much for that. Now it’s Xitter, Xi pronounced like Chinese as in Xi Jinping.

I forgot about Twitter!! Great one

I like it when they become "proprietary eponyms" (I learned a new word today), like to "Google" something. I have never "Copiloted" or "Geminied".
Though, yeah, great point! Regardless of the product or implementation, it's the perfect name!

Google was an accident as it happens. Whoever registered it meant to spell Googol.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive. The alternative is another masters in CS which is the same cost as many boot camps. Any recommendations on picking between a coding boot camp and getting another masters degree in CS? I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).

Is your compensation and performance reviewed automatically on a regular/annual basis? I don’t get either of these unless I ask for it! Found out others in our company experienced the same as me. Lowball Salaries trending as a common pain point

I like my team and work life balance, during the pandemic was very beneficial to my wellbeing. However feel I owe it to myself now, to be earning what I’m worth in the market (I’m underpaid by a fair bit) especially with inflation costs
