I mean, sure, he’s living a life out of a Wes Anderson film, free from kids/family/house/whatever.

I quite like the idea of numbering sprints A-Z, though. One thing I’ve noticed at work with sprints and dates is that time marches on and it feels like an abstraction, an endless future and cycle.

26 sprints, a, b, c, d, ..., z, well, that’s something with a clear start and finish, a sequence we’ve internalized from a very young age. You get to R or S, you start thinking, whoa, not many sprints left for me to finish some big goals. I think it could help focus team members a bit.

I definitely get having distinct sprints and seeing where you are at in the bigger picture, but this can absolutely be achieved without distancing yourself from the rest of the human race who are all using a different timekeeping system. It's just arbitrary contrarianism in my eyes. Keep 2 week sprints, label them A-Z, but use standard timestamps so the rest of the world can join in.
