I work at a company where all of our services have stupid Greek code names. It adds a layer of obscurity, increases the cost of onboarding devs and context switching, etc. It's a goddamn stupid idea.

The author here is equivocating opaque code names with multi-use repos. They're saying "see!? some repos on github do things in addition to their literal name."

That has nothing to do with the fact that obscure code names are a stupid anti-pattern.
