From the code name of these projects from Uber: Heaven(God View) / Hell, you can pretty much tell this company thinks it's playing god.

This is terrifying and must be stopped!

My team has a tool named Zeus, it is not a malicious application. It is simply the administration utility engineers/business use to manage our data and platform. This is no different than judging a book by its cover.

God view is a fairly common term though in many products. Nothing innovative from Uber in that usage

Makes you think you should always choose the driest names possible, even for internal projects. That said, I agree, who would name a tool like this "Hell"??

Hell is "other people".
