Why are there Nautical references in Spark?

If you’ve been using Spark for a long time, or using some of the more advanced features, you may have noticed various nautical and sailing references. Why is this?

Liberty Spark was originally designed and built in the port city of Portsmouth. The project to build it was code named Spinnaker after the famous Spinnaker Tower on Portsmouth’s water front.

So next time you’re hoisting a new process take in a deep breath of the sea air and imagine the invigorating coastal breeze.

Nothing better to inspire you for the next round of process improvements!
