Partially inspired by WD-40 but more so the exorbitant price for anything workflow.com. The number did have some logic behind it: 8 letters in automate and 6 in no-code.

I thought it had to do with the 8086 dynasty of of Intel processors and the relation to tech and automation that computers have.

Ahh, I thought it meant the slang "86 it". As in it'll throw out your old workflow for a whole new paradigm.

We've heard this as well and also sometimes use it as explanation. Who knew "86" could make sense in so many ways.

Yeah, I hear "flow 86" nearly rhyming with "486" when I squint. As in, I've got a personal 386 and a work486 at my desk.
