The thing is, you just can't detect a programmer is bullshitting by just hearing those terms - thus making it a misleading article. There are all sorts of programmers out there - those who use these terms and work a lot (on those things), those who don't use them but still work on them, those who use these terms but don't actually work satisfactorily, and those who neither use these terms nor work. Correlation is not causation here is what I want to say.
- eddigo 9y agoI took the article context as a non-technical manager wondering why a project wasn't complete after using a good deal of resources. Usually "bullshitting" refers to the tactics engineers, or employees in general, use to explain why they aren't done when they should be. If engineers are using these phrases and projects are being completed, then you can assume they're not bullshitting.
