starbucks versioning: boost motivation through fancy-sounding words

every dev knows the situation of trying to fix a bug for a whole freaking day. when you then suddenly are able to solve it (or declare it as a feature), you are excited to merge it into production. but just as a minor update or path? isn't that depressing? i mean, you worked your ass off just for a "minor" update?! that's why i invented starbucks versioning (well, it's basically just semantic versioning, but way better). now you didn't create a minor update or path, you created a grande or tall update! (cool, eh?) this sounds way cooler and also boosts your motivation. when telling your one friend that you merged a minor update into production, he'd probably say "whatever", but if you tell him that you merged a grande update into production, he'd probably say something like "amazing! but why do you use italian words?" also, as a coffee lover (as every dev is, right?), the fancy-sounding words venti, grande and tall are by far easier to remember than those strange, english-sounding words major, minor and patch
