# Trivia
- The variable [readylized](#readylized) was named like that because a signal called `ready` already exists in `Node` and can therefore not be used as a name. [JeremyStar™](https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM) then simply appended `lized` from `initialized` to `ready` and `readylized` was born.
