Do people understand me when I refer to publicly traded companies by their stock ticker?

R @foreachdev HA! That’s a WINDY day. No Disney Imagineer is going to tell me the weather.. Quick, MSFT engineers, redesign weather terms!

Dev: This is what we built based on your requirements, Sales: We don’t like that anymore… we can’t sell that…

… so the Dev says to the Sales team: What could we sell? Sales: The competitor’s product!

… so I’ve spent this past weekend, redesigning a chunk to MEET SALES new needs… which they don’t entirely understand to begin with!
