And I'm old enough to remember Wasabi as the proprietary vb-to-php compiler that FogCreek developed for a few years. And I think there was something related to OpenBSD or NetBSD, some company called Wasabi System...?

It's definitely one of the most common codenames in IT, together with Phoenix, Firebird and Panda (and in the enterprise, all greek/roman gods).

This is Richard: a product manager with Wasabi

sorry to say that we don't also make the fire alarms. That would be cool technology to work on though!

Sometimes people make these as copycat posts, which is not the best kind of post, but I figure HN can handle a lot of wasabi.
