How do you all come up with a name when you're launching something new?

For me naming is always the hardest part. I've named around 30 products so far and this is roughly my flow:

- One sentence on what the product actually does, not the feature list. Most of my names come out of that sentence

- Then names from anywhere. One of my apps basically stands in for you, so it became Kagemusha, a Japanese word for a double. Short, and no AI or Pro stuck on the end

A new NBER paper tracks 500,000+ GitHub developers against their actual AI telemetry. The task-level gains are enormous and they mostly don't survive the trip to a shipped release. Across four app marketplaces: a sharp rise in new apps, no rise in total usage.

Most of the AI-productivity argument you've read this year is two camps shouting single numbers at each other. There's a paper out that makes both camps right and is more useful than either, and the revised version went up this month, so it's worth twenty minutes before you write your Q4 plan.

Sometimes it takes 30 seconds.

Sometimes 5 10 minutes.
