ME:
why would claude code call a plan "sharded-gathering-mccarthy"? this seems totally unrelated to my project
CLAUDE OPUS:
This is just an auto-generated placeholder name for the plan — it's not meant to describe your project at all. [..]
ME:
what a bizarre idea. it sounds like a plausible technique 🤣
CLAUDE OPUS:
Right?! "Sharded Gathering" absolutely sounds like a legitimate distributed systems pattern 😄
Like you could totally imagine someone at a tech conference saying:
> "We improved query performance 10x by implementing sharded gathering with eventual consistency across our microservices..."
And everyone would nod seriously.
The McCarthy part just adds to it — sounds like it could be named after someone who invented it, like "Dijkstra's algorithm" or "Paxos consensus."
I'm now slightly disappointed that sharded-gathering-mccarthy isn't a real technique. Someone should invent it just to justify the name.
