alt Hacker NewsFirst my mind went to Phoenix (elixir framework), then to X (twitter) before it clicked what this was actually about. Some very overloaded names

Programmers aren't good at checking if the name is taken. We've done this particular one before. Phoenix (Firefox) had to change names because of Phoenix Technologies, then again because of the Borland Firebird Database.

Phoenix was also the name of Mozilla's browser before they changed it to Firefox

The meaning of 'X server' has been well-established for 30+ years.
