Now you'll tell me it's not pronounced Hap Roxy!
It's short enough I just spell it out
I've always pronounced it "In-jen-iks". I blame Jurassic Park and it's fictional biotech company InGen, but it does kinda also sound like "eugenics". But I dunno man, if you want everyone to pronounce your software a specific way maybe spell it in a manner where the pronunciation is more obvious? Just a thought.
My lead dev used to pronounce it njinx and I always needed some time to realize what he's talking about.
I really dislike the trend of made up pronunciations. I can accept that gnome is with an audible g since that makes more sense than a silent g, but nginx can be at best similar to engine-x, but even then it's more like the n in dnd rather than en.
People pronounce GIF with a hard G, even though it's officially JIF, so who cares? /s, nothing agaisnt you, OP.
Wait till you find out about quay
