  1. Yesterday at work I hopped on a debugging can with someone whose first name was Akshit. I tried, for pronunciation, "Aksheet", but eventually had a chance to ask how he pronounced his name, and no, it's Ak-shit.

    I used to have a name that looked daunting, but was actually simple to pronounce, and I loathed people who chickened out and wouldn't even try to say it.

    What do you think about pronouncing new names?

  16. I've been hacking together a little CLI/TUI for the mastodon API in #rustlang recently. Nothing too fancy, just an API client and some pretty printing but I've hit a block.

    Names.

    Toot suite is a thing already I think? (Which is good: it'd be criminal if it wasn't) So what do I go for?

    Toot swoot? (Debatable)

    Honk? (Possible)

    Honk swonk? (Questionable)
