I am curious why this name was chosen. Is there any connection between Isaiah and whales? Feels somewhat TempleOS-y.

Alright! I'll copy-paste an explanation I gave prior on Reddit. I legit had no idea this would spark so many conversations hahaha. "I like to use a pen name generator, and use the generated name for my projects. It makes it easier for me to name things, rather than having to come up with new naming ideas for every new project. And also, I like the idea that every project has a person's name, as if, by using the proje…

That makes sense, heh. I had thought you were going for a Moby Dick pun with “Ishmael” or something

    It is an attempt at recreating the lazydocker command-line application from scratch, while making it available as a web application without compromising on the features.
Wouldn't it be possible to directly use lazydocker with a browser terminal such as wetty?

While there, at one time, was a "Hyundai Genesis" there hasn't been for some time. "Genesis" is now the luxury brand of "Hyundai".

You wouldn't say... "Would you not buy a Toyota Lexus because of the name?"

Hyundai spun the name off as a brand in 2015 [0].

Technically, you're right - because there is a car by that name (albeit old now). But, for future reference!

You are thinking of Noah and the Whale.

Is genesis a religious word? I thought it meant beginning in greek? Using this logic, the word "revalation" would also be religious.

In English, genesis is no more a religious word than is the given name Isaiah. That is exactly my point. One rarely hears the word genesis outside a Biblical context, and perhaps OP rarely hears the name Isaiah outside a Biblical context, but intrinsically neither are religious.

Other common Biblical names are Mary, David, Joseph, Abraham, Adam, Mathew, Daniel, Jacob, John, Simon, Michael, I could go on.
