In the early 00s, I regularly used to drive between the south-east and south-west of England, and one of the cut-throughs to avoid the worst motorway is a town named Bracknell.
For years there was a prominent building on that route for a company whose name I cannot remember, but the tagline on their sign was "The XML Company". If that was happening in Bracknell, I can only imagine how crazy the valley was...
Worrying thing is 20+ years later, I'd take XML over YAML without hesitation...
- runlevel1 4y agoIt's name is/was Software AG.[^1][^2] What an impressively generic name. Looks like they still have an office in Bracknell.

- jen20 4y agoYes, that’s the one, thank you! I did notice in ~2019 that they were no longer in the same building (which appeared empty), guess they just moved somewhere less prominent.
