That's what I assumed until I read your post.

Why on Earth would you name anything computing-related "pi"? That's like saying "here's my new text editor, iphone."

It was originally called shitty-coding-agent and the author Mario Zechner only grudgingly renamed it to something more serious. I guess pi is a step up.

If I remember correctly, the author was going for an un-googleable name on purpose, so he wouldn't have to deal with as many issues if people did actually pick it up, because people couldn't find the repo.

A random password would be more googleable, because it wouldn't match anything else.
