I've noticed a growing trend of startups trying to do this, and it just annoys me immensely. How hard is it to invest in your own original brand?

From the inception of the product we knew we were building a library - well, a publishing and hosting platform combined - but really, a library of APIs. The very first name we came up with was “stdlib” and, through a stroke of fate, “stdlib.com” was available.
We don’t take the name lightly. We understand we stand on the shoulders of giants, and it is our responsibility to create the best “stdlib.com” we can. It motivates and inspires our team members. That is why we chose the name.
It’s unfortunate you have a problem with this, but we’re very thankful to our developer community, team, partners and our investors for their support. :)
maybe everyone who thought of that name before you laughed and said "I'm not that kind of person"
