It makes more sense when we assume it’s software development terminology instead. Alpha means the software is immature and full of issues.

I’m an old version male. I’m out of date but stable and used by people who generally know what they’re doing and don’t want something new that’ll likely blow up in their face.

Hello ladies, I’m legacy code nobody wants to refactor and is being slowly converted into microservices.

Well, I am a god damn mess as a person. So I’m like pre-alpha. I guess that makes me a proof of concept, or maybe even a thought exercise.

I’m just a beta male… they doubt I’m ready for release… but I’m far more stable than any alpha male.

What’s the difference between beta and release candidate?

EA doesn’t know either.

I’m Concord. Only out for a week and then swept under the rug like I never existed.

I think of myself as code-complete but not necessarily bug-free.

I’m barely a proof of concept then. Or minimum viable product. 🙃
