- beagle3 6y agoStory I heard is that it started with “sid” being an acronym for “still in development”, but once that caught, it blazed the trail for the rest of the Toy Story characters....
- fanf2 6y agoI heard it was because when Bruce Perens was Debian Project Leader, he was working for Pixar around the time of the Toy Story release, and chose the naming scheme. The descriptive name for unstable has always been unstable, not "still in development".
- Igelau 6y agoLooking back, Sid was an artist being smothered by mundane suburbia, while Andy was a milquetoast who couldn't look after his stuff.
