I've been reading CoderHood as Coder Hood, as in Coder Neighborhood. But now I feel like it's supposed to be more like livelihood or knighthood, right? If that's the case it may be worth making the H lowercase.

That is correct, and you have a good point. I'll need to think about it. Changing it would be a major pain, but probably worth it... Thank you.

Probably that big a deal, but yeah, I think it could help. The most important thing is the content. XKCD has gotten along just fine without getting trivial naming details just right. πŸ˜„

I watched Black Dynamite lateley so I was thiking about the neighborhood.

But while I read A Song of Ice And Fire I probably would have thought about knighthood.

LOL. This discussion reminds me of this quote:

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.

for what its worth, I always thought CoderHood was related to knighthood and think the lowercase h would actually make it seem more like Code Neighborhood. πŸ™ƒ

Ha! I like this interpretation better, Jess! :) :) I think I will (conveniently) follow your instincts ;)
