What is that C you're talking about?

  C* is short for Cassandra.

    The * characters in your original comment were interpreted as markdown emphasis markers, so they effectively got lost.

      yeah, I noticed after I replied... thx.

    Why did people start doing that? I noticed all the Cassandra people at work started using C* at pretty much the same time, too, including signatures in e-mail. Was there a global "there's too many letters in Cassandra and C7a looks weird" memo to the entire Cassandra community? Drives me nuts for absolutely no reason I can think of.

      Probably a few high profile devs started using it and the community started to emulate.

      I'm honestly not sure, I thought it was a canonical abbreviation as a lot of the training docs I've seen use it.
