Project Naming By Acronym

Description

The image has a white top caption reading, "Me naming a new software project at work." Below it is an animated movie scene of a wide-eyed scientist presenting a machine name, with a screen behind him spelling out parts of the acronym as "MUTATING," "DYNAMIC," "FOOD," and "REPLICATOR" and a small partially visible "SUPER" near the top. The subtitle at the bottom reads, "The FLDSMDFR." The developer joke is that internal software projects often end up with opaque, over-engineered acronyms that sound impressive in a launch meeting and become unreadable tribal knowledge forever after.
