Once interviewed for an automotive embedded software position and they asked me if I was familiar with SPICE. Naturally assumed they meant the circuit simulator, answered yes and they did not dig deeper

Only later in the job I realized that they had meant Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination.

		"The abbreviation SPICE stands for Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination. Automotive SPICE (also commonly abbreviated as ASPICE) combines a process reference model and a process assessment model in one standard" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_SPICE In automotive it's known as SPICE, because the automotive is obvious.

dEtermination. Also quite confusing.

		They’re only concerned with capability determination, not name determination. Some people just have no SPINE when it comes to naming things.
