I have a funny anecdote from my experience.
We sit in a meeting and discuss some feature, there are two new devs in the room, I am dev as well but I worked with those business people for quite some time.
Business people start talking about "generic solution" and I already hear devs asking questions/talking like they are preparing to build "reusable and flexible framework for all your needs".
Where "generic solution" for business was maybe 2 or 3 types of texts with possibility to add maybe 1 at some point. But that was nowhere near what devs were imagining especially when "generic types" has specific meaning for programming languages.
- unilynx 5y agoTranslating from business terminology to developer terminology is always fun, especially when they use the exact same words. One of the first times I encountered it at the early web, when a customer wants you to 'connect' two systems, before you start analysing the data models, first check if maybe all he wanted was a hyperlink.
- dexwiz 5y agoYeah, developers tend to take the most of a meaning.
