  2. How we name things

    Replit's CEO discusses the critical importance of naming products and features, arguing that these decisions are often undervalued compared to company names. He proposes three principles for effective naming: ensuring names complement the main brand and set accurate expectations, using realistic rather than fantastical names, and choosing names that clearly communicate the product's function. The blog post uses examples from Google, Tesla, and Replit's own Ghostwriter (now Replit AI) to illustrate these points. AI
