Oh god yeah I’ve been in this situation too. Working at Apple it was like “is everyone in this meeting cleared for Tigris?” And you’d be like “I don’t know, what the hell is Tigris”, and then it turns out after you check your clearances it’s just iOS 13, which is obviously no mystery that after 12 there will be a 13. Just call it that!

Nothing was named according to what it did either, I think our deploy tool was Carnival? Just codenames everywhere

In general I completely agree that code name overload is dreadful. But I think in this case, where this pair is so fundamental and used so frequently in the codebase, I think I would probably permit it. Beware codename creep.

I dunno carnival seems like an apt name for a deploy tool at some of my past jobs.
