Favourite technological word

Workshopshed

mentioned that his favourite word was "Just" as in, "it just works" which often hides a massive amount of work done by others to make it happen for you.

 

My favourite is "Simply" which comes up in our requirements statements. e.g. "It simply needs to guide the rocket and land on the asteroid". We find it used most when the person writing the request has no idea at all about what needs to be done.

    yes... FUBAR is a naval term, and SNAFU is the army equivalent.

    Air Corps think they don't have these issues, and for the Marines it is a way of life.

    What is a Success? No word like Failure should be used, we should replace that word with Experience, it will be much better. For example If someone says "I tried that and it was complete failure" no it should be like "I tried that and I got a 'huge experience' about what not to try/do again".

    My favorite quote on this subject: "Good judgement comes from Experience.  Experience comes from Bad Judgement."

    These three words are written on my DNA strands.image I don't know about you but I have seen & experienced it in many times of my life, what this "never give up" thing can do. I'm never afraid of going one/two/three or.... steps further what's not in my comfort zone and I'm Happy to say that it always worth the pain.
    I was writing a whole latest example of this but it became huge as I wrote it and will probably waste your time So I'm not posting it here.

    Ohh, You are so right.
    I have tasted what delicious recipe experience can make. That's why I always build things from scratch because when I start from scratch I seek for many new things to learn. For example, If I just connect components in a circuit and made a development board looking over a schematic I am definitely going to learn a little because I will be making less mistake in that. If I create my own circuit and then start building a development board that thing will teach me a lot because I know I will make mistakes but it will definitely raise questions like " WHAT? WHY" and finally " Oh That's Why! " i.e. EXPERIENCE. Of course it takes some time but I have always found that, that time is really worth it.
    When I build a project & if everything goes smooth i.e. no mistake, I believe I haven't learned anything about it. on the other hand If I'm making a project and it is stuck at one problem That is a huge success for me because I know in any next moment/day/week/month I'm going to get my answer "why its not working" and that will stay in my memory forever.
