I think complaing about author's and project's name is out of place.
I'm informing you that they're objectively going to lower your chance of success. Considering that it is "impolite" to tell that to someone, it becomes uncommon knowledge. Fortunately, I'm not a polite person.
For what it's worth, if I had any scientific evidence that having an Anime avatar on Github lowered your chances of success, I would tell you that as well.
I will leave you with this quote by Donald Knuth:
"The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking for a suitable language."
This avatar wasn't taken from anime. It's drawing of Alexios Komnenos.
I don't understand what that means.
> You know, we don't choose names ourselves.
Who is this "we" people? What makes you so sure you belong to them, bound by their arcane rules?
> I feel comfortable with Krzysztof Szewczyk, but if it's risky for you, nothing stops you from calling me somewhat different.
Thanks, Chris.
> This avatar wasn't taken from anime.
It looks like anime, therefore it is anime, for all practical purposes.
> It's drawing of Alexios Komnenos.
Let's just say I have no idea what Anime Alexios is supposed to communicate to me.
But to be honest, I don't care how my language will be called. I'm not crazy about the correctness of the pronunciation of my name too.
