I love the project. Technologically, this thing is awesome and I want to try it out.

But I haven't because of the name.

I want to raise a totally sideways concern that has no relevance to the project, just so it gets out there. The only problem I'm having is that I, like about 10% of the US Population, have Entomophobia.

The name of the project gives me the heebie-jeebies and keeps me from wanting to work with it because I loath cockroaches. I know it's not relevant technologically, but I really can't imagine doing training on cockroach for example.

Oh. My. God. No.

Anyways, wanted to provide the feedback. Sorry if it's totally weird.



I think the branding is brilliant. It's unforgettable. It's a statement of purpose. It hits their target market (engineers) perfectly.

I sympathize though. Entomophobia must be a bummer.


Well, at least it is not grabherbythepussyDB.


It could be great exposure therapy :)
