#buzzword — Public Fediverse posts

🙈Ah yes, another riveting tale of #academic buzzword-bingo, where "rethinking retrieval" is code for "we need something to publish" and "direct corpus interaction" sounds like a euphemism for an awkward office party. 🤖💡 But don't worry, because soon we'll be 'agentic searching' for the meaning of life, if only we could comprehend what any of this actually means. 🙃

🧠🤯 Ah, the internet's latest buzzword: "Cognitive Debt"—because "confusion" wasn't hip enough! 🤓 The author's noble quest to enlighten us is as clear as mud, with enough #jargon to make even the most seasoned #buzzword #bingo player weep tears of bewilderment. 🙄

Ah, the grand #farewell to #Agile, the mystical #buzzword everyone loved to misunderstand. 🌊 Like a diet where the only rule is "eat food," #Agile swept through, leaving us with endless debates on what True Agile™️ actually meant. #RIP Agile, we'll miss your cryptic wisdom and #daily #circle time. 😏

In the last week or so, #Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella announced that they were going to pull back from doing new feature work for #Windows for a bit, and focus on bug fixes and other quality-of-life improvements for users and administrators. Windows' already shaky reputation has taken a beating over the last year as it seems that every monthly rollup #patch, and many out-of-band #patches, introduce new problems at the same rate as they fix previous ones.

Is this giving you deja vu? It should. Remember a couple or three years ago, when the same guy announced that Microsoft was going to focus on security? They were in the middle of a long spell of brutal security holes found in all their products. Remember how they told their #engineers "If you have to choose between doing a feature and doing security, choose security"?

Remember how you never heard about that initiative again?

It's the same thing here. #PR garbage in service of a narrative that no, Windows' horrible security, usability, and #stability aren't actually that bad, so that MS can focus on their core competencies of buzzword promotion, stock market analyst manipulation, and monopoly abuse.

Perhaps someone in Microsoft management actually believes these refocusing efforts are genuine - but if you don't change the incentives, they won't actually take hold.

🎯✨ "North Star" is the latest #buzzword #Microsoft has recycled from the corporate jargon dumpster. Apparently, using fancy words to say "we have a plan" is meant to distract us from the fact that their blog posts are longer than a CVS receipt. 🧾💼

🐜🛠️ "Corrosion" is the latest #buzzword #bingo champion from a blog that thinks it can fly, but is just crashing into a wall of tech jargon. If you squint hard enough, you might find a sentence that isn't just a name-drop of random #frameworks. 🤓🚀

Imagine if #democracy was actually an integral part of everyday #life and not just a #liberal #buzzword for #bourgeois #electoral #politics
