Edit:
The kanji for dragon seems to have a reading: "ryuu" and that "sound" (if not written in kanji) has several meanings, one of which is also "method"

"goat" seems to be "yagi", and putting that in jisho.org, one of the results is related to "night shift", so maybe a nightly process? nightly build?

- donw 16y agoI can't imagine anybody using '風' for 'method' for anything relating to software. It's usually written in either katakana (メソッド), or the mathematical term for function is used instead (関数). Really wish I could see the original message...
- fauigerzigerk 16y agoI wish the author of that post could see a translation back into japanese of what he posted. I'd love to laugh together with him :-)
- hasenj 16y agocould it then be just a general "method", as in "the way to do a certain thing"?
- donw 16y agoKind of, although I think that 'in the style of' is a more accurate translation. For example, you might see '日本風のステーキ' for 'Steak, in the Japanese style.'
