Sidekiq's TUI is getting a lot closer to usable now. What should the actual binary be called? `skq` maybe? `skui`?

@Ryanbigg @getajobmike can’t go wrong there. Folks can make any alias they wish

@jasonkarns @getajobmike I prefer it spelt out like this as I've "suffered" too much at the hands of cutesy names for projects. Name things what they are!

@Ryanbigg @jasonkarns sidecliq is an amazing name but I actually use and type in my terminal and nothing beats a short, easy to type name like kiq.

@getajobmike @Ryanbigg the way I see it is this:

1) Typing in terminal will typically be either tab-completed, or ctrl-r shell history matched, so first characters matter more than length.

2) short names are what aliases are for (customizable to the users own mnemonics or de-conflicted)

3) longer names in scripts are self-documenting

(Though #1 means de-conflicting from sidekiq would be good)
