You use the phrase twice in the article. Could I ask you to put an asterisk by the first one too?
(I came across it, stopped reading the article to Google it, couldn't find it so came to HN to search the comments and then went back to the article and saw the asterisk later on)
- matthewsinclair 1y agoOk. I’ll fix it. Thanks. I’m genuinely surprised how much controversy this statement has caused. It’s something I’ve said many times in a professional environment and literally no one has ever picked me up on it. Makes me wonder if they were _ever_ listening …
- mijoharas 1y agoHahaha! dw, no controversy from me, just googled it's meaning and couldn't find an answer, so was confused. (and wanted the asterisk to help the future people out) It could be a more local idiom common in your company/area or something?
