You aren't alone at all, that's exactly what I thought it was too.

You got me. There are some pretty serious issues with this.

I think they're only saying it because TIFU is a colloquial acronym for "Today I Fucked Up" (this is how I read it too), not intending to insult your abilities.

definitely not a commentary on the work itself!

Actually "the today i ffff up hash" is a pretty cool name for tifuhash, like a backronym.

It's probably more memorable / mimetic than "tiny fast universal". And memorable wad one of my original goals, but i was referring to the source code!

As well as so many people naming it "today i ..." hash, there's the other comment saying i ought not use the technical term universal.... Maybe it works for me to take the hint and just change the name to today i fucked up hash. Somebody open a PR!

I guess future versions can be named like "Wednesday i fucked up hash"... Or maybe now I'm just getting distracted by this name.

Thanks for saying so :)

Oh, sorry, I only understood what this comment meant after I read the child comment. Yeah, I got "Today I fucked up" from reddit's TIFU, not as a commentary on your abilities.

Thanks for saying that! Have a good day

You too!
