"Just" is just like the word "k" To some people it's seen negatively, like they should have thought of something or other, to others it's a stand-in for "merely" or "simply" but I find "simply" much more condescending. Speaking generally, I heard the word "just" mostly when working on motorcycles or other hands on things like laying down floor boards or finishing concrete. There's a shared respect for the workers in those environments that ascents to a quick course correction by someone that has a better idea. If I heard someone on a construction site say "simply hammer in the cross beam from the ladder." I'd probably throw the level at them. I don't want politician speak at a job site. But then I found out about how some people in tech hear the word "just" as a signifier of thinking the person is stupid. So I've toned it down. But sometimes. Sometimes. Sometimes, really, just put in a caching layer for your webserver or tell me why I'm wrong.
