I am using r10k for a while now. I wonder what r10k means.

Questions

Why is the tool called r10k? Where does it stand for?

Attempts to answer the question

Neither the puppet docs, nor the internet indicates where r10k stands for

Well, it's explained over here:

It’s called R10K because I’m terrible at names. When I started working on R10K I couldn’t come up with a decent name. While trying to come up with something clever, I recalled that Randall Munroe wrote a bot for controlling IRC chatter, and gave it the most generic name he could think of - Robot 9000. Since I just needed a name, any name, I decided to go with an equally generic name by incrementing the robot index.
