    IDK either but I’m guessing it’s a play on “soyboy”, so basically just calling the devs that engage in this behavior wusses and losers.

      I thought it was a racist slur for Asian devs…never heard the term soyboy before, but would have assumed racist slur as well.

          I mean like i said, I have never even seen it used before, in any context, so this is only my initial impression of the name.

          You use “soy” as a negative appendix to something, soy is Asian in origin (I think?), which is why I perceived it initially as a racist slur.

      I like it, makes sense lol

      I’m imagining devs that use MS word as revision control.
