The Scourge of Alpha Software
I woke at 5am, watched some countdown, got one 7 letter word BERATES.
Yesterday I managed to make that first live upload, it's been long time comming.
Anyhow I'm at the dreaded alpha stage, the definition being: -
alpha: "a first release of a software product that is usually tested only by the developers"
I'm the only developer so that doesn't really make much sense, I've been testing stuff since the start. So I propose a new definition: -
alpha: "It works, but only just"
IMHO, much more concise.
