I don't know what to make of this comment. On the one hand, I've worked with people who technobabble so I wonder if that's what this is. On the other hand, I question if maybe I'm just an idiot who doesn't operate on your level. Either way, I think there is something to be said about communicating succinctly in plain English. This comment reminds me of the joke/quote "Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do."
- maxbond 4y agoI was unfamiliar with these terms as well, but I looked them up and was able to figure it out. It's not technobabble and I doubt that it's just above you either, they're just words you don't know that you can look up. They didn't use words that were unnecessarily complex, they were just referring to concepts you hadn't heard the word for before, and they happen to have a stiff and academic feel to them. Concurrency, syntactic sugar, object oriented, monotonic clock, these all sound like babble to someone uninitiated as well.
