Like the Apple Lisa for example. Named after his daughter.
I use friends and family as sample data for unit/integration tests.
At a previous job, I tested an automated email system by scheduling fake events for various US presidents. I've long left that position, but I never cleaned up the test data. Every month I still get a reminder for Nixon's upcoming reservation at the Watergate Hotel.
Okay but my partner does this with things like taking my naming suggestions for blueprints in factory games. Then he'd message me about his harambe units. 10/10 very cute
So, anyone here want to name a git branch after me? 😊

I made my wife a magic mirror.
The GNU kernel was not originally supposed to be called the Hurd. Its original name was Alix—named after the woman who was my sweetheart at the time. She, a Unix system administrator, had pointed out how her name would fit a common naming pattern for Unix system versions; as a joke, she told her friends, “Someone should name a kernel after me.” I said nothing, but decided to surprise her with a kernel named Alix.
Refactor them guts. Get naked.
