Ask HN: Your favorite technical/startup idioms?

2 points by fatihpense 11y ago ↗ HN

I like the idioms like "technical debt", "bus factor" ,"FUD" etc. They help thinking and modelling on subjects that HN people interested in. However I couldn't find a list so want to curate myself.

Can you please share your favorite idioms?

Jeff Atwood had a blog post[1] containing a list of new programming jargon, although perhaps this is too 'programmer'-focused.
