Z

Every time I need to peak into a Core Data sqlite file I’m constantly tormented by all the Z prefixes.

ZAPPDATA
ZINVOICE
ZSERVICE

Zthe Zzs. Zthey zare zall zi zthink zabout.

I hope there is some cool story behind it all. Like there was once a developer on the core data team before its launch in 10.4. He was a vibrant young developer by the name of Zed. Tragically his head a splode when he was told they were going to ship without a migration tool. He died. They named the tables in his honor.

In other news have you ever noticed how all the iTunes urls have MZStore in them? Yeah that was me. I wrote the original iTunes Store prototype. Well that’s what I tell people anyways. Then again I am a shallow, shallow man who demands attention and will lie to get it.
