I agree with what you are saying but remember the twin scenario. Spoiler alert, the kids are nonetheless different.

Is it just me or the s Z and z S should be swapped?

The learning curve is so low that yes.

Try it for <20mins and if you don't like it, leave it behind. These 20mins include installation, setup, everything.

Assuming this change is causing the layoffs, then these companies know about this.

If these companies don't know about this change, then why would we believe this change is causing it.

Except as the article says, names tend to stick, scopes don't.

This PaymentService grew into fraud detection. So the new hire will be even more confused. Asking "What does Picard do?" is natural, where a new hire might have trouble asking "What does the PaymentService do?"

They ruled out logos where the M is not the main element. The Muni logo spells "muni" giving each letter roughly equal value.

I don't get that at all. To me the answer is "we want things out of the vcs that we don't get from git nor github/gitlab."

The fundamental difference is: sqlite is a cathedral, git is for bazaars. That's kind of a big deal.

That's what I understand as well.

(disclaimer: I'm not Deaf, just interested in ASL.)

Signs very geographically even in ASL. (See: https://www.reddit.com/r/asl/comments/dcvqo9/is_there_much_d...)

Wouldn't your argument hold for spoken languages as well? Why do we have french and spanish? Because it would be impossible to force most people to learn the other language.

English is the widely spoken for economical reasons and yet that's only 13% of the world population.

No sign language has that kind of pull. We would need TV shows / movies that pushed a particular sign. The internet helps but how do you prevent groups from drifting?

At some point accents become dialect that become languages. Written ASL doesn't seem to be growing.

Why do people communicate in different languages? Because they live in slightly disconnected social circles.

There might be a survivor bias here. How can we know how many similar projects didn't make it out of that cohort?
