Every once in a while I am amazed that one of the contenders for social media dominance right now is literally named "blue sky"
It's a term from project planning, and I'm pretty sure it's intended to mean "what you do if there were no constraints"

figuratively, "blue sky" is about halfway between "pie in the sky" (unrealistically optimistic) and "fair-weather friend/soldier" (someone who cannot be relied upon in hard times)
That they entirely overlook these rhetorical ankle-breaking potholes (as bad as "Uber", I mean, really) is the best evidence yet that the software engineering industry needs humanities people

"blue sky" absolutely feels like a Torment Nexus name

"fin-du-20⁰-siècle bureaucratic decadent"
"Dunder-Mifflinique"
