I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
Well historically I've gotten in trouble for naming servers after sexually transmitted diseases (mostly because nobody can spell "gonorrhoea") constellations (mostly because nobody can spell "cassaeopia") and dinosaurs. Surprisingly, everybody loved dinosaurs at school and can spell "brontosaurus" but Upper Management didn't like the idea of our machines sounding obsolete.
I don't get to name the machines where I work currently.
At home, I name everything that's a server after a computer from film and TV; I currently have Sweetie, Arcade, Shoshone and Zen.
EDIT: Oh, and my phone's called Squish, after the cluster lizard from Lexx. No reason.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
