The GNU kernel was not originally supposed to be called the Hurd. Its original name was Alix—named after the woman who was my sweetheart at the time. She, a Unix system administrator, had pointed out how her name would fit a common naming pattern for Unix system versions; as a joke, she told her friends, “Someone should name a kernel after me.” I said nothing, but decided to surprise her with a kernel named Alix.

Have all of your functions named after loved ones and/or nicknames for your genitalia - that way you can say stuff like “muh dick needs to call shawty in order to work”.

duuude, one of my favorite devices ever was a pre-ipod mp3 player (empeg), and it had "wendy filters".. which were essentially 'my girlfriend is in the car, dont play this shit'.. but i seem to recall that was the name of the feature 'wendy filters'

Unit test dummy data is full of it. Need an arbitrary date? Pick a special birthday. Location? Wherever you first met.

Not the most public dedication, but perhaps more impactful than yet another song about the one that got away.
