Right? Half of us on HN would be dying to know.

Maybe it's some kind of code review/search tool...?

I'm going to guess one of: time tracking, holidays, expenses or internal directory with pictures and desk locations.

I doubt any of those would be trade secrets that he can't talk about.

> internal directory with pictures and desk locations

I sometimes wonder if no one will ever say out loud how much they'd love this (at bigger companies), or if it's just me that can't easily learn 100 new names/faces/roles/projects.

I struggle with names and faces too.

I've been thinking of turning my coworkers into an Anki deck to study on the subway. That would really help me, come to think of it.

Maybe generating fake data for testing/development purposes? Each company has to do this in a different way to suit their business needs.

My best guess is some kind of highly automated backups but it doesn't quite fit IMO and I'm also very curious.

Me too. I hope someone in this thread will guess it, or something else equally interesting.

I think the "two week projects" are "agile" sprints.
