TIL some people pronounced it n-jinx
I mean every time I hear about the damn thing it's because it's been misconfigured and is causing some fucking ruckus. The whole thing is cursed so jinx really feels appropriate where I'm standing from.
My colleagues were right?!
But of course they pronounce the "ine" as in brine (we are French), which is what really hurts my ears, ugh.
My lead dev used to pronounce it njinx and I always needed some time to realize what he's talking about.
Wait till you find out about quay
I'm glad there's pronunciations provided, because to me it looks like it should sound like a slur.
En-eh hinks (with heavy Spanish accent)
Nginx is atrocious. I about have a stroke every time I have to work with it. Caddy is 1000x easier to set up.
Please no! Not another fucking reverse proxy. I can't take it anymore T_T
N-gin? Cortex's henchman???
Thank you for saving me from future embarrassment.
Or just becoming terminal "um actually"-er like I've become with epoch
I laughed out loud when I first learned that imgur is supposed to be pronounced as "imager'... well you fuckin chose the wrong combination of letters for that didn't ya
Am I missing something? I've always pronounced it "imager". How else would you pronounce it?
as it's spelled: im gur.
It's one thing to name it imgr, but putting a fucking u after the g makes it a hard g in literally every instance. the letter u is the reason the g is pronounced as a hard g in words that otherwise wouldn't need a u: fragile / guile, digest / guest, etc.
it's spelled img - ur, as in img or the shortening of image in every context. You can't shorten image any other way.
it's spelled img - ur
no, it's spelled imgur. I know what img stands for which is why I said it would be one thing to call it imgr. the u doesn't make sense and it hardens the g. it's funny that you talk about how it's customary that img stands for image but you act like 'ur' is also a thing by itself.
well it is, just not in that way. if your img-ur breakup made any sense for pronouncing img as if it's independent then why not consider what ur stands for? it's a shortening of your or you're. so why not pronounce it image your? because it's bullshit and the spelling is ridiculous.
1000% I say gif too, like gift. If you wanted it pronounced like “jiff” then you should have spelled it with a J.
I flew from Jermany to Tanzania and saw some jeriatric jiraffes.
I say it "Jif" because:
jif was copyrighted. gif was literally named after the peanut butter. it came with a jingle "choosy developers choose gif". How many different forms of proof do you need.
Or with a Đ.
Choosy moms choose Dzhif.
I like to pronounce it as nginks like fucking inks. Yes, with a ng sound in the beginning.
Like the Vietnamese name? So... "Wininks" ?
Now you'll tell me it's not pronounced Hap Roxy!
similar problem with kubectl
It's obviously kubecontrol! I will die on this hill.
Also, Containerd ... Not helped by the cli nerdctl.
I think software name pronunciation discussions are so hilariously absurd that I sometimes purposefully vocalise nginx as “Nuhh Ginks” just to put a hat on it
I pronounce k8s as k-eights sometimes on purpose to gauge the reactions
Wait do you mean “kates” or “Kay-Eights”? I think either makes sense and I wouldn’t raise an eyebrow
If you said it like “Kuhh-Eights” I would probably laugh
En Guh Inks
I split the middle with en-JIN-iks (which is how I heard it said long before I saw it written)
Wait till you hear about SearXNG or SxncD
