The obtrusive chat bot pop up on the site that makes a sound is why I hate the current state of frontend design/ux.

Does anyone else feel weird about these terms used for employees. Hackeronis, Twittarians, Redditites, coinbese?

Not weird but I do think they’re embarrassing, degrading, insufferable.

Not really. They have a “cutsie” name for us at the company I work for too. I find it endearing :)

Yes. I'm curious why companies do it.

I never pushed back on it because I figured I'd just come across as a killjoy.
