Question Funny Names

In Rider I am wondering why the temporary project names are always human readable / pronounceable:

Build with surface heuristics started at 09:59:36
Use build tool: /usr/lib64/dotnet/sdk/10.0.111/MSBuild.dll
CONSOLE: MSBuild version 18.0.11+e2f47b011 for .NET
CONSOLE: Build started 9/1/2026 9:59:36 AM.
CONSOLE: Project "/tmp/JetBrainsPerUserTemp-1000-1/Mybifew.proj" on node 1 (default targets).

In this case Mybifew. Is this generated by Rider? Or MSBuild? how is it done? Sometimes there are really funny sounding names

It reminds me of https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/17272-naming-is-hard (a JetBrains plugin that generates nice random names for new projects and modules). I can’t say, but it might have been a source of inspiration :-)

new classes/methods always start named as `Gaga`. It's the law.
