For the confused: CD = Continuous Delivery, not Compact Disc. Mods: Perhaps edit the title?

Are physical CDs still a thing?

They're still big in classical music. And, yes, classical music is still a thing too! ;-)

Honestly - I don't think most people would confuse this unless they're still on dialup

I was kind of thinking the same thing, the last time I had a computer or laptop with an optical drive must have been something like 8+ years ago and even then I can't remember using it for years.

No, hipsters are only just upgrading to tapes.

Heh, first thing that sprung to mind was what.tape, I hear it's the new big thing. Seriously though - there's no good reason for anyone to embrace standard cassette tapes, vinyl I understand - not because of any audio quality based arguments which are easily debunked but because the large format tactile experience of the physical and visual experience of the playing a large rotating medium with friends can be quite compelling.

HN needs a better mechanism to highlight posts for the mods.

I think that mechanism is to write an email to hn@ycombinator.com

IMO let's not waste the mods time with this, I feel that 99.9% of the visitors would associate the term CD with continuous dilevery and not compact disc

Just spent the last 15minutes on it and my first impression is that documentation is still too poor to use it professionally. Even though, after a couple of tries, it looks like an awesome start and I'll follow this up with great attention.

Good job to the team for building an open-source tool for CD!

I never even read "Continuous Delivery" before today, so no, that does not seem like the case.

I felt like the CD = continuous delivery was obvious. But perhaps I've spent to much time on Dev Ops. Maybe simply saying CI/CD would be sufficient.

When I read "CI/CD", I think "Corporate Identity / Corporate Design", which is just as confusing, if not more so... :-?
