i’ve received polarizing views on this username. some people love it, some ask “why this username?”. so i thought i’d describe my thought process here
let’s start with the elephant in the room - do i love papayas? yes, but just as much as i love guavas, bananas, pomegranates and melons. basically it’s one fruit in a basket
i like being a jack of all and master of some. being a versatile person makes me happy. so i wanted a username which could convey this versatility while also keeping the tech background. once while randomly stalking projects on github i stumbled upon potatoproject. the username sounded versatile and cryptic enough to resonate - the only problem? it was taken. so i considered some variations - codepotato was next in line but i didn’t like how it sounded too similar to couchpotato.
so i went with the next best “friendly” fruit i could think of - papaya and decided thecodepapaya would be the name i’d be known by from now on
