Gurpreet is your co-worker on the sister-team, over in India. He’s hard-working, a family man, and takes care of his aging parents, all in their home village over the weekend. He spends nights in Bangalore, debugging and reviewing your code while you’re asleep. His contributions to the project are pretty solid too, even though he’s only been coding for four years. His management treats him and his team like garbage, but they don’t let that stop them from showing up and doing a good job. If you ever came to visit, he’d roll out the red carpet along with his co-workers, and give you the kind of hospitality reserved for a minor god.
Gurpreet is awesome.

For anyone as uneducated as me: the name is Indian.
JaymesRS@piefed.world 4 months ago
No, the name is Gurpreet.
ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 4 months ago
Oh, I assumed they were introducing themselves after having recovered from temporary amnesia.
ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 4 months ago
Yeah. I think it's a pretty nice name tbh

I enjoyed working with Gurp.
ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 4 months ago
I assume we'd all enjoy Gurp.

I’m pleased to report that in reality, I did work with a guy named Gurpreet many years ago, and yes, he was a pretty cool dude.

Damn, son. I grew up in a mostly white town, but there was still a couple of Sikh kids in my school. OOP must live in a zip code that’s only been written down like four times.
ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 4 months ago
Gurpreet is obviously normal enough to be on a bottle of Coke where OOP is so I don't know

Huh, so presumably, they send out groups of names by an area’s demographics. I could see them ending up with some very strange seeming names in some areas, either by smaller towns being grouped in with nearby cities, or due to supply chain changes, and stock for one area getting rerouted or mixed up.
Like there might be plenty of Sikhs in NYC, but go upstate and its possible someone’s never heard the name, or met a Sikh.

Insomuch as most heroic narratives follow a similar template, absolutely.

They never have a bottle that says Luci :((((

You gotta install OpenWRT on the bottle to access that.
aarRJaay@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Our goddaughter I’d called Lucie, its really hard to find anything with her name on
ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 4 months ago
Me neither. I did find one which said Ragnhild.
Tangent5280@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Ragnhild sounds like something from german folklore that sneaks into your house at night and torsions all your testicles

Aren’t all the names ObviouslyNotBanana?

I don’t get this post, is it just racist?
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 4 months ago
that’s the sound one makes when drink it
ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 4 months ago
Well, my intent wasn't racism. Of course the meme contains a racist aspect but the joke, to me, is that the creator of this meme is insular enough to assume that no one could ever be named Gurpreet.

That’s what I got too.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
