"A peek under the purple rug!" sounds awfully suggestive. I hope that's as obvious to everyone else.
Purple rug = Yahoo internals
Is there anything I am missing?

#32For the confused: CD = Continuous Delivery, not Compact Disc. Mods: Perhaps edit the title?
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.
CI yes, CD no - in my mind CD is pretty much fixed to compact disc for eternity.
When I first read the title I thought "oh, Yahoo must have had some cool automatic system to burn CDs that is probably so old and pointless that they are opensourcing it now as part of their mothballing". I was fairly disappointed to see it's Yet Another CI Tool.

I confess I read it as Compact Disk. This made me curious enough to read the post, which I probably wouldn't have bothered to do otherwise. It was interesting though.

Honestly - I don't think most people would confuse this unless they're still on dialup *Edit: sorry, my comment was intended as humour but was actually a bit negative
Sorry for chiming in late, had to wait for someone to get off the phone before I could dial in.
Joking aside, I did think CD was a Compact Disc, but that's probably because I grew up with CDs and still have them hanging around the house.
Then I thought it could be to do with changing directory for a split second.

I think that's just you, buddy. The only thing it suggests to me is the need for a more engaging tagline.
(But maybe it's just a matter of perspective. I once knew a redheaded woman who'd replaced a specific subset of her body hair with a brightly colored flame tattoo, which against the very pale skin typical of redheads produced an effect both immediately striking, and quite memorable at what is now a considerable distance of time. Had she instead dyed that hair purple, perhaps I'd be more likely to see this matter in the same way you seem to.)

#37Although Yahoo doesn't seem to be doing very well recently, they've done lots of great engineering. I recently looked through the organization's Github [0] and discovered a few nice packages.
I'd happily pay for a good managed CD build system capable of handling projects / products with multiple dependencies.
Right now I use CircleCI along with a bunch of scripts, and it works, but it's not great. One problem with existing CI tools that I've used is they only handle a single git repo, so extra automation has to be done ad-hoc. It's not terribly difficult, but it's tedious and it doesn't give you any kind of safety guarantees.

Please don't be sorry! I'm genuinely surprised that several people experience a different association with the acronym with relation to technology and open sourcing 'things' especially in the HN space. I grew up with CDs, however as I mentioned in another comment I haven't used or had the means to use optical media in over a decade nor do I see optical media present at work or with friends so it's quite interesting to me, I'm not convinced that I'm in some sort of 'bubble' but more that perhaps that it could be something like a generational association. If you don't mind me asking, in the name of science - what age bracket do you fall under? I'm 30 or there abouts and for me I think optical media became something irrelevant or perhaps irreverent in my technical / cultural experiences in around the time of 2006-2008 and continuous delivery / integration became a valuable focus of product delivery and technical engineering at around 2010 and something that I've been experienced since around 2011ish.

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
I never even read "Continuous Delivery" before today, so no, that does not seem like the case.
This is genuinely interesting to me, see my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13425660

I just hope Digital Versatile Delivery doesn't become a popular phrase in the future.
