      My projects all start with code names, and I use US Military Aircraft names - Falcon, Eagle, Blackhawk, etc

      If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

        You forgot: 1.0.380.0 "Airbus" btw... what a nice plane, specially the upper deck (and its bar)

        Yeah - well when it tries to land or take off it will often find an out-of-runway error.

            I worked at a place where all the project managers used code names and everyone else used the actual product name and release version. Where it got even more confusing is that the project managers would assign code names to sub-projects which overlapped their other code names, which would sometimes change if they drifted out-of-sync "too much" with the parent project. The end result was sometimes quite comical: Dev at standup: I'm working on X. PM: No, you're working on Y. Lead: What's Y? PM: X, but for D instead of C. Everyone: What's D? PM: The name for 1.24.1 And on and on....

              Due to the way my product management works, my software tends to have many small iterations. Coming up with codenames for those would put an ununderestimatable load on the programmer.

                  i have had to start using a logarithmic numbering system. it used to be prime numbers, but had too many complaints from colleagues that they could not figure out the next version number after 13.

                    Just a side note on the 737... I don't think there is anything quite as remarkable as how a French pilot can make one of those birds climb taking off out of Paris! Truly an experience that I will never forget!

                      Not officially, but sometimes something interesting crops up. Lately we've been working on a 3.2.1 patch of a product. So we're calling it the 'Ted Rogers' patch.

                        Susie. Actually I call most of my projects Susie.

                        This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
