Ask HN: when does your bullshit filter turn on?
After working in an enterprise software development house for a while, I found that I have developed a so called "bullshit filter". Once somebody mentions "enterprise", "workflow", "service oriented architecture", or similar phrases, my brain switches to the mode where I ignore rest of what's said. Any similar experiences? What words turn you into that mode?
