Sidekiq. It's a wonderful project and has formed the basis of so many projects I have worked with over the years ever since it's inception. It's also a great example of an OSS project with a healthy commercial offering.

Yes, people who try and inject a little fun into their interactions are just the worst, aren't they? In a professional setting too. It's just shameful behaviour.

Naming sure is hard.

Because birds.
