> i am excited to see what will happen with tokenmaxxing startups, both for how they work internally and the products they can build.

Am I the only one who gets a physical, visceral churning in their gut when they read/hear someone unironically using the term "tokenmaxxing"?

This is the absolute worst timeline, and I'm embarrassed to even be in an industry adjacent to these dorks.

This is not in defense of tokenmaxxing, I just want to remind that CompSci has already been full of ridiculous names that we all just got used to.

Bogo sort, Canary, and Rubber-Ducking come to mind

Even BASH comes from 'Borne Again SHell', since they re-did what Stephen Bourne made, and it sounds like 'Born Again'

10 years ago i'd never had imagined i'd be using the word 'kubernetes' or 'kube' on the regular

at least tokenmaxxing has a straightforward implication, and the maxxing implies idiocy or excess

None of those come from such a deep hell as the "looksmaxxing" community.
