“Just”
- dudul 9y agoI have a similar relationship with "Just", but in the context of requirements/implementation at work. As in "can we just stick this thing in a DB?" "can we just add a checkbox to disable this flooby?" "can we just serialize it and be done with it?" Each time I hear "just" when trying to find a solution to a problem (with always the next question being "how long is it gonna take?") I get suspicious and make a point of playing devil's advocate.
- al2o3cr 9y agoI also try to avoid using "just" when asking things from other specialties - for example, asking the ops team to "just install Kafka" after reading one blog post about it.
