If you start a spring batch, what letter will you use to disambiguate it from summer batches? (S24)

• j45 2y ago
  I'm not sure I understand the relevance. More startups can try to happen? Maybe it can be more continuous supports being 4 seasons instead of 2?

    They mean how people write “S23” for summer 2023 batch or “W23” for winter, since there are two seasons that start with S it would have to be abbreviated P25 or R25 or SP25 etc. instead

  They'll use daylight savings time, so S25 is spring 2024, until next year where it falls back to S25 being summer 2025.

  On brand for "do things that don't scale"

  That was the first question that came up when Dalton announced this at YC yesterday :) I vote for P because it's the second letter of Spring and it goes with printemps and primavera.

    Nice! But obligatory calling it Primavera all the time, no cheating!

    N for spriNg and then the loop will be: nsfw

  Easier to just name batches using seconds-since-the-epoch, so you don't have worry about such collisions.

    yeah, but what about leap seconds?

  SG24 (SprinG) and SR24 (SummeR)?

  Embrace modern glyphs, use the summer emoji and the autumn emoji (I tried to add them here but unfortunately HN removes them from comments)
