My colleagues were right?!
But of course they pronounce the “ine” as in brine (we are French), which is what really hurts my ears, ugh.Wait till you hear about SearXNG or SxncD
TIL some people pronounced it n-jinx
En-eh hinks (with heavy Spanish accent)
I’m glad there’s pronunciations provided, because to me it looks like it should sound like a slur.
My lead dev used to pronounce it njinx and I always needed some time to realize what he’s talking about.
I like to pronounce it as nginks like fucking inks. Yes, with a ng sound in the beginning.
And ngrok is en-grok, not en-jii-rok…
