ljplicease | And I'm finally cutting

Yesterday I cut our last release of our product for the year. The version is 1.16.17. The first number in the triplet is always 1. Not sure why. The second number in the triplet refers to the year, in this case 2016. The third indicates that it is the 17th release this year. Actually it will be only the 16th given that one release was canceled. We are supposed to do a release every two weeks. So we ought to have 26 releases every year. What happened to the other nine releases? Well sometimes we delay a release because of a holiday. 4th of July week is usually bad to release on because many people are on vacation. In December I don't ever try to schedule more than one release because of Christmas. Still. We delay a lot of releases because people can't get their shit together in time, and we have to delay a release in the testing phase.
