What do you call it? In polite company that is, I've got plenty of other names for it that I can't mention here.
Was speaking with a coworker and we got on the subject of Azure DevOps and how neither of us were sure what the proper abbreviation was for it. Both of us were trying to avoid typing the entire thing out each time we were discussing it in an email. ADO is already used, so that's out. AZDops or AzDO sound vaguely scatological.
Turns out that I'm not alone (Twitter)[^], glad to see that even Microsoft people have the same problem. I think the best suggestion there would be DevOps for Azure... or DOA.

You are discussing the wrong thing (whatever it is) in your emails.

Why not keep using VSTS? or just DevOps.
You could use ADO internally, as I'm sure you're not actually using that term daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly

I decided to approach it the same way I approach variable names, and call it what it is: TFS hosted on Microsofts servers.

Go with ADO. Sure, it's already used, but many acronyms are reused.

True enough, someone else mentioned above mentioned the same thing. Plus, the context it gets used in should be clear for anyone who isn't intentionally trying to be a PITA.

Sorry, I'll try to avoid gory Halloween posts in the future...
Just to draw a line.
Zombies with severed heads = OK
What I mentioned in my post = NOK

How much real life damage have zombies done? And how much was caused by what is named in your post?

I started out with [what was mentioned in my post] and it scarred me for life.
At least it hardened me and no other language, library, tool or API can let me down now

So, totally unrelated to this ofc; have you tried SAP yet?

Guess who owns Crystal Reports... 
Other than that I haven't worked with SAP though, somehow I've managed to evade it for all these years

It's more like this:
Zombies are a bright moment, showing even death can be overcome. Vampires and other types of undead also bring in an additional ray of hope.
What you mentions - those things are stupid. There's no cure for stupid. No Hope.
So - the point is that we don't want anyone's kid sister to find out there can come a point when there's no possibility of hope. Not at their tender age, at least.

Sid - Uso[^]
An ending theme from the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime series.
I haven't watched this recently, but it's in one of my playlists that I've been listening to because of the release of season 3 of The Seven Deadly Sins.
The song is in Japanese, so I have no idea what the guy's singing about.
I really like this song though, it's one of my favorite anime soundtracks.
So enjoy, and do yourself a favor and go watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
