    Not exactly the same but I remember starting my software engineering course and having to remote into the university servers to write code. All the servers were named after Red Dwarf characters. Being a career changer, as soon as I saw the server names I had this calming feeling that I’d finally found my people and everything was going to be ok.

      My dad was never at university, but he was a unix admin for ages. his naming conventions for clusters?

      Star Wars characters.
      Red Dwarf Characters.
      Star trek characters.
      Asimov’s robots.
      and apparently, his annoying bosses. (For the troublesome clusters.)
