$WORK’s corporate values, etc are distilled into an “OS”. It’s been that way since it was a startup, but I still find calling it an “OS” weird.

- netizen-936824 4y agoI don't understand how you can say >values, etc are distilled into an “OS”. When its literally not an Operating System. Its an application, no? It runs in user space on top of a real Operating System
- _gmnw 4y agoSpeaking of weird ways to name something, why did you write it as $WORK? It doesn't look like it's publicly traded.

- blooalien 4y agoTo a programmer or scripter, an uppercase $WORD starting with a dollar sign often denotes a variable. Thus, $WORK could denote any sort of work, or if you're religious, you might worship a $DIETY (but which one we don't know without asking, so it's "variable" information).
- pavlov 4y agoSadly this script that depends on a supreme being will probably break in production because the correct spelling is $DEITY... I guess supernatural dependencies are frowned upon these days anyway.
- spicybright 4y agoThat's why I always put both $DEITY and $DIETY in my .bashrc file.
- bradknowles 4y agoI support ${DEITY}, to cover the use case when there isn't one.
