And so many businesses end up with names because of this. I feel them on this. Everyone sitting around, throwing out their ideas for names, someone at their laptop checking domain registrations at the same time till something sticks.
Frankly, I'm still confused about what "recurse center" means even though I know what recursion is. I wonder what it will first mean to people outside of industry. I also can't unsee the substring "curse center". :/ Slightly off-topic: How would someone structure a study to predict the effectiveness of a rebranding?
In my technical writing class in college, the professor made the point that "recursion" is based on the verb "to recur", and that "to recurse" means "to curse again".
If that doesn't sound like programming, I don't know what does.
Just a heads up, in the apply form ( https://www.recurse.com/apply?r=homepage ) you still refer to Hacker School.
My brain jumped to "curse" and "legal recourse," not "recursion." And I'm a software developer. Hacker School seems fine. I think you guys are over thinking it.
