Venom: All Terrain Autonomous Quadruped

Meanwhile in hardware we're sitting around with German-esque word trains like Multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC), successive-approximation to digital converter (SAR-ADC), parallel-multidimensional digital signal processing (mD-DSP).

It seems to be the software engineering world, out of all the engineering disciplines, that loves to draw upon fanciful names the most.

I used to troll an old housemate who was in web frontend by making up framework names. "Oh you're using Node.JS? Was talking to someone who's migrating to Polenta, with Shibboleth on the backend." He never did quite catch on.

The 4kW laser cutter I operate at my regular employment is aptly named by the manufacturer:

You’d have to be pretty quick off the mark to respond with:

Shibboleth? Isn’t that still in private beta?

I realized after a while that any name I made up would invariably be an actual JS package, perhaps even a full fledged framework. Shibboleth is in fact v0.1.4, available via npm. https://www.npmjs.com/package/shibboleth
