The key word was products, i.e. making a living from building tools for other developers.
There are many more developer-run companies today than there were 10 years ago and the number will continue to grow. There have never been more opportunities to do that than right now.
OSS is an opportunity. It's not about the software; it's about the services and the ecosystem. There are a lot of people making money from Wordpress plugins, themes, and development.
I actually didn't even consider that far; I stopped after "why would you name your product something like condom".
To be fair, it's a solid idea that I imagine would do well regardless of the name. To continue being fair, it's hard to picture the name not being a point of friction in at least some scenarios For instance, picking the name out of a list of possible choices. There are unfortunately likely more limiting scenarios than that.
I'll probably launch a better brand-name that's more family safe, but when I thought up this name my gut instinct was a giant "YES, this is so awesome".
He's selling to sysadmins and developers many (most?) of whom will have to get management approval to purchase. The name can definitely be a limiting factor to sales.
