This dude named a Python data analysis library after a retrocomputing (Commodore era) tape drive. He _definitely_ should stop trying to name things.

If you want to get good at something you have to do it a whole lot!

I only have one regret from the name Datasette: it's awkward to say "you should open that dataset in Datasette", and it means I don't have a great noun for a bunch-of-data-in-Datasette because calling that a "dataset" is too confusing.
