    Sorry, but yeah, some programming humor, though it seems to fit.

    Alpha - the first working versions of a software, used to verify concepts, but is often very unstable, and outright broken in places

    Beta - mostly working version, core is stable, but some features are still buggy.

    Release candidate - works well enough that it could be the release version of a software, all specified features are in place, it is polished and the team working on it is focused on testing it to make sure it is ready.

      I was rather drunk and apparently only read half your comment, lmao

      Thanks for the explanation anyway!
