M is for Mention

Did you know that, originally, the "Honorable Mention" was an actual (military-based) award? However, it has since gone on to represent a person or work who could be deemed as a "runner-up" to receiving an award instead of a recipient.

So with the latter in mind, in honor of "mention" being selected as this release's name*, here are some honorable mentions of other Jostle-adjacent M words that didn't quite make the cut:

  • Monolith - the full name of our releases is actually "<release name>-mn" with the "mn" standing for "monolith". Calling this release "Monolith-monolith" might've made for some meta-style fun, but also some mega-sized confusion.
  • Matrix - I mean, the connection is kinda obvious: The Matrix is based on code and Jostle's platform is based code. Oh, wait - does that mean Jostle is the Matrix?! 👀
  • Meeting - Team meetings, 1:1 meetings, remote meetings, hybrid meetings, all hands meetings...Jostlers already live and breathe meetings, so clearly there wasn't a need to add yet another one to the mix, even if it was just in a representational manner.
  • Mystery - it's no mystery why "mystery" wasn't selected, because it's my personal suggestion and the word has nothing to do with Jostle. I just think it would be funny to publish release notes titled "Mystery Release" and then have it be nothing but rows of "?????" after. But apparently what I see as "funny", others see as "immature", "not helpful", and "frustrating". OH WELL.

* how is "mention" a Jostle-related word? Because our platform gives users the ability to tag others via an "@mention".
