Phrases in computing that might need retiring
Strong disagree on "technical debt"<p>Rather, the entire world is built on it and there's some level of acceptance required, but we definitely need a shorthand phrase for "we're doing something stupid that will save us time now and make us hate ourselves a year from now"<p>Edit: thinking on it, also "devops".  It's really job title for "sysadmin but paid and owned by the software department to keep ITs fingers out of everyone's shit" but with a flashy name that sounds important so mgmt will agree to it. It's meaningless to us but it's a hyper-important industry term that saves us all a lot of suffering.  It also must necessarily remain vague such that mgmt won't understand it and know to deny the posting.  It's sorta like how snapchat used an obfuscated UI to keep parents out.
