Is this some kind of gotcha? What's bad about telling employees not to use these words when they give an impression of being anti competitive?

- WaffleIronMaker 4y agoIt makes sense in that context, but when people start coming at developers for having documentation that refers to "killing a process", blacklisting language starts to seem a bit silly. Automated tools tend to ignore important context.
- dudeinjapan 4y agoIt's not a gotcha. Perhaps Google can/should use their new Google docs feature to police these words internally as per corporate policy. Whether or not Google is "being evil" by using language to obfuscate it's own anti-competitive practices is a separate discussion.
- smegma2 4y agoGot it. Sorry, I think I am too used to sarcasm on HN.
