I'm surprised to have seen this flagged and dead when it's generally one of the top comments on anything to do with CockroachDB (which I think is a very normal name in comparison).

I'd feel weird about suggesting a tool at work called "vaj" or "tits" too. Feels a little much like encouraging a "boy's club" clique-y kind of atmosphere.



Coq is not pronounced like the English word “cock”. It also has no sexual or vulgar connotation whatsoever, and is just the standard French word for “rooster”.


>Coq is not pronounced like the English word “cock”.

Maybe they should mimic Facebook's name pronunciation bio line design feature and mention that obviously because that's news to me and people I've known that used the tool.


The boys club aspect I think is very important, and I think this aspect of tech culture might get some attention, but for thet most part is dismissed.
