You’ll be glad to learn that the debugger is named “humility”:

And the author of the post is named Cliff L. Biffle, which is one of the best names I have ever heard.

No, Brian Cantrill named an OS hubris.

Who in their right mind writes a new operating system today? Answer: someone trying to tackle a problem every operating system is ignoring (controllers on MB and expansion cards that the OS doesn’t and cannot control).

To be clear, Bryan didn't name it: Cliff did.

But yes, the idea is to gently poke fun at "wait you're writing your own OS?", which is admittedly a bit hubristic. Humor is a good way to stay grounded.

Oh really.

Seems pretty on-brand.
