Why? Just because cockroaches are gross?

Not the commenter, but for me this is it. I'm don't mind any other insect or rodent. But for some reason roaches are absolutely disgusting.

I know how silly it sounds but I would hesitate to work on any project that worked with this tech just because it would make me uncomfortable to hear the word so often.

Yeah. My brain just starts thinking about mold and rot and disease and I can't divert it.

It's weird, because I can watch nature documentaries of lions eating prey without flinching.

Think about them fried

With butter

Have you considered the possibility that you might be strange?

>nontrivial

Is that based on established data, or based on you having such a strong visceral response that you assume there're plenty of other people that agree?

Maybe this is a good opportunity to explore the experience of being a minority! It feels so weird that they either didn't even think about the possibility of people like you existing, or that they did and decided your money and good will were fine to discard.

I mean this without any facetiousness, this could be a very valuable experience for a CEO, in a position of power and authority, to carry forward. Even if you're a minority in some other way, maybe this will help you understand the experience of having dietary restrictions or allergies, or having frustrating sensory experiences with like overstimulation.

I think it's more to do with the resilience of the cockroach.

You're getting downvoted, but I kind of agree. That's a terrible name for a company that has nothing to do with cockroaches. They might as well call themselves "Garbage Labs" or "Refuse Labs."
