Is that a wrong usage of the term? Honest question as I am not a native speaker & I thought it was a expression that indicates we chose who should work on this

Is that a wrong usage of the term? Honest question as I am not a native speaker & I thought it was a expression that indicates we chose who should work on this dropping existing items to start working on it.
- dchuk 13y agoHe's referring to the ridiculous title of "product ninjas". There's no such thing as a product ninja and anyone who uses the phrase reeks of drinking the hipster startup kool aid.
- diggum 13y agoBut I felt he was using it merely as a term of endearment and respect, and not an official corporate title. Know what makes me stop reading a comment? When someone is so stunted by a term, derides something as "hipster" as if this is the be-all, end-all insult, and refuses to consider advice outside their little sphere. I would also be on board with dropping someone "reeking" of something. As long as we're talking cliches, how about we let "drinking the kool-aid" go?
- skrish 13y agoSorry if it feels that way. I reviewed the blog and didn't correct it, because that is what our support lead feels about our devs, just from his perspective. But I see your point. Thanks for the feedback.
