Yes we are nerds but we must have decorum.
Plus if you’re managing any real infra at all you’ll run out of names if you’re using Star Wars, even the extended canon.

Every character on screen has a name in Star Wars. For example: starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Davin_Felth

I wouldn’t use cute names anyway because I’d forget what they actually were. It’s way better to use descriptive names so that you actually look like you know what you’re talking about. Generally speaking you don’t see cute names as much as you just see bad names.
In the past I’ve read code that says things like
prefDoUserAccountProccessing_b(e)only to find out that it’s some old bit of code that isn’t used anymore because it’s for an old legacy SAP system. That’s apparently what the_bindicated, because obviously.TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 1 day ago

Names are arbitrary anyway.
I see the point of something like
euw-69-r47s11-vm420, but a memorisable name is more useful if you are small/specialised enough that you need to remember which box does what.Also, let people have some fun, the world is bleak enough.

Is it rfc1178 that says not to use names that look like serial numbers because they’re not mentally distinct enough?

I think the point of this post is how they are all doing stereotypically nerdy things, and then they are into Twitter

This is as surprising as finding my old human sexuality professor on tumblr. I mean, I haven’t, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Another unfortunate fact is that there are a lot of right wing people in IT. That’s something I’ve learned in national conferences. I always hang out in places like this so I had no idea how bad it was, but at least 50% of the people I’ve at IT conferences were right leaning. There’s only 1 on my team. 2 if you count the libertarian.

As is the rest of society. There’s nothing about IT that would make it more likely to attract left wing folks. There is that for FOSS specifically, but a huge part of the IT sector only consumes FOSS products without ever giving back.

When I first started I used to work at an absolute dumpster fire of a place, and even that only had one right wing guy and he was a conspiracy theorist who thought that the COVID vaccine contained nanobots. The guy who is supposedly an IT professional thinks we have nanobots.
He didn’t last very long. Not because he was a conspiracy theorist, although for my part I would have been perfectly fine if that had been the reason, but because he was actually kind of useless at his job. It turns out that if you think we have a microscopic robotic technology then you’re probably not as well versed in the industry as you are pretending to be.

That’s one of the things I enjoy about working in the video games industry instead of a normal software place, everybody seems much more progressive than the average for my country. Maybe it just comes with being underpaid and working on creative stuff.
