"if you don't speak nerd", I dislike that kind of speak.
- datalog19908 9y ago"if you don't speak nerd" Usually used by people who want to pretend like they have deep technical knowledge. It's a big red flag that a lot of bullshit is coming next.
- bitwize 9y agoYeah, that kind of thing has me crying like an anime fan on prom night.
- dasil003 9y agoEspecially when following a meaningless statement like "Can run 1,000 concurrent NoSQL databases." It's one thing if you're just trying to be cute, it's another if you actually are technologically clueless about a product you are legitimately pitching. I imagine some broey sales guys pulling this off 30-40 years ago, but these days even non-technical executives understand that tech strategy is anything but hand-wavy commodity.
- barryp 9y ago"if you don't speak nerd" ... seriously "fcuk" you you mouth-breathing Biff Tannen wannabe.
- dang 9y agoEesh. Please don't stoop to that level here, even if an article contains an annoying phrase. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
