Looking through Network tab on Chrome developer tools, I noticed a file called "hakovaim.js" and in it seems to be code that controls the Winter Bash hats.

Why was this name chosen? The word "hakovaim" means "the hats" in Hebrew. I was wondering if this was created by a Hebrew speaking person, or is that just a coincidence?

And if it is the Hebrew word, then why would that be used on this file name instead of a more useful English word?

(Hopefully the person who actually created that file will see this question, but if anyone else knows, I am really curious about this.)

Winter Bash 2020 was largely created by Yaakov Ellis, who lives in Israel and does indeed speak Hebrew.

He probably included the name as a sort of Easter Egg.

ולמה שלא יעשה את זה?
