Care to share that with the rest of the class? I'd love to hear what those idiomatic distributed systems namings are!

Ran it through ChatGPT:

  Town            = Central orchestrator / control plane
  Rig             = Project or workspace namespace
  Polecat         = Ephemeral worker job
  Refinery        = Merge queue manager
  Witness         = Worker health monitor
  Crew            = Persistent worker pool
  Beads           = Persistent work items / tasks
  Hooks           = Work queues / task slots
  GUPP            = Work processing guarantee
  Molecules/Wisps = Structured, persistent workflows
  Convoys         = Grouped feature work units

Thank you! Is this the future? Everyone gets to have their own cutesy translation of everything? If I want "kubectl apply" to have a Tron theme, while my coworker wants a Disney theme. Is the runbook going to be in Klingon if I'm fluent in that?

I hope not. Homebrew is a great example of why boring tools shouldn't invent quirky terminology.
