Yep, you are basically making a new requirement that hires have to be Starcraft experts; and if not, then your naming scheme is totally unintuitive and overly verbose.

I'm a big fan of the function###.IATA (or ICAO) code.

So like db1.pao, web3.sfo, m22.sin...

I don't do the 01 02 thing because that falls down at 99. :-)



Yeah, now that I think of it I can't remember why I'm doing the 01 thing. Must be residual from my previous job where we used this pattern.

I remember reading through the Bind file and seeing

  # >10k machines? NEVER!
  streamer0001.xxx...


The primary reason for using 01 vs 1 etc. is because it sorts better without having to use fiddly sort options.
