Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if “runk” was real, which I assume not.

But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.

Isn’t that something that was basically taken over by corporate people?

Yup… IIRC they basically started a company with a similar name when they didn’t really have any association with the project then slowly consumed it.
