We called it RAID because it kills bugs dead
The bug puns were everywhere!<p>When I started working at Industrial Light and Magic in 1998, there was no bug tracker in regular use.  I ended up building a bug tracker in Python called "Roundup" (inspired by a program by Alan Trombla, who came up with the name).  To create the thinnest veneer of plausible deniability in case the bug spray lawyers came after us, the icon was a little spinning GIF animation of a cowboy on a horse, lasso curled in the air.<p>I only stayed at ILM for two years, but Roundup remained still in use as the ILM software department's main issue tracking system long after I left, at least 6 years later.  It was one of the early issue tracking systems that made it easy to subscribe to any issue, so you'd get e-mail notifications whenever the issue was updated.<p>The issue identifiers were numbers prefixed with a code to indicate the affected software project, like "REN003" for a bug in the rendering system.  Three digits, of course, because I could hardly imagine that a single project could ever have more than a thousand bugs!<p>I remember that along with statuses like "in progress" and "done", we had a status I've never seen anywhere else: "cbb".  As in "done, but could be better."  What optimistic software engineers we were back then!
