Developers: It’s not about being exact. It’s about being concise.
- aboodman 17y agoActually, I notice the reverse problem: (good) programmers are in the DRY habit, so they habitually look for the most concise way to express something -- either in programming or spoken language. In real life, communication is lossy. You need to express things multiple ways, with examples, and then ask for confirmation to make sure what you sent is what was received.
- ksowocki 17y agoThat's a fair point. I suppose it all depends on the context of the conversation.
