Unfortunate name ...

Why so?

I read it as Q ovary, which after a moments thought my brain turned into queer ovary (taking inspiration from the Q in LGBTQ). That still didn't make any sense.

Best resource I could find on picking names for products/company name is "Hello, My Name Is Awesome" by Alexandra Watkins. I really recommend it to anyone struggling to find a good name.

In short it talkes about 5 qualities of a good name and 7 qualities of a bad name.

IMO name Qovery for sure touches on 1 bad quality:

* spelling challanged - que-overy, it should be pronounced Covery right?

After some time, it doesn't sound that bad, it's just that this Q and o look unnatural next to each other. BTW. Alexandra ripped apart people saying "Google" is a good name - no it isn't :) we just got used to it

Q is conventionally folowed by U.

mlindner• 5 years ago

In English at least Q is always followed by a u. So to a native English speaker it's non-obvious how you'd pronounce this.

Yea, super weird name....

Santosh83• 5 years ago

It's unsure exactly how to pronounce it. And because of that, there is also the risk you could misspell it.

azangru• 5 years ago

/ˈkʌvəri/ ?

As in Q-ovary? I don't think that's the end of the world, even if it meant to be pronounced as such.

As of today, Qovery CLI (CLI used by devs to interact with Qovery) and Pleco (a tool allowing us to clean old cloud resources) are written in Go, and Qovery backend is mostly written with Kotlin.

This is great engineering. Sensible use of technology.

How hard is it to set up build caches? Does anyone have working examples for toy projects?

rhooke• 5 years ago

I'm not sure what you mean by a build cache, does sccache suit?

It's pretty simple to use sccache, which is what we do.

Spoke to the founder recently chasing a job there, great team and a great attitude. Talented people should reach out!
