I feel like the better comparison is Kubernetes. Its predecessor that was developed inside Google was literally called “Borg”

For reasons I don’t understand my work asked Craig McLucke to visit us, which he did. As he tells it, Borg was a pre-existing platform, Kubernetes came along as a part of a program to develop a replacement/furtherance of the Borg. The actual code name was Seven of Nine for that reason but legal couldn’t clear it with CBS/Paramount/Viacom in time for distribution.

I feel like this would be a much easier Ender's Game meme but fuck Orson Scott Card's homophobic neoconservative Mormon self

Hmm, good point. But it was Ursula Le Guin who coined the word. Maybe there's a workable reference in Left Hand of Darkness, or The Dispossessed.
