    wasn’t it originally idiotically named “SQL/Server”?

  Microsoft Azure Blob

  (Yes it’s a real product they market)

    I mean, blob (and object storage in general) has been used as a term for a long time. It isn’t particularly new, and MS didn’t invent it.

      That’s sort of the problem. It’s easy to Google S3 since it’s a distinct (if obnoxiously short) term. Blob is already an overloaded term.

      An example of a great name from Microsoft is Excel, it’s relatively short but meaningless so if you Google “Excel Sum” you’ll get wonderful results… “Blob Get” is going to get you a lot of random stuff.

        Excel is a brand name, Azure Blob Storage is a descriptive title. It’s Azure’s blob storage service.

  Visual Studio Code

    To prevent confusion, I call them “VS Code” and “Visual Studio IDE”, because if you say Visual Studio, people assume you mean Visual Studio Code.

    At least they don’t control the most popular code hosting site along with the most popular code editing software, right? Right?
