Found it funny that President’s Daily Brief is abbreviated as PDB. For intelligence analysts who might be reading this post there are a few links explaining PDB files:

• Program database 
• Symbol files explained

I also suggest to deabbreviate PDB files as Programmer’s Daily Briefs in the context of nightly builds on Windows platforms.
