Every cold email I receive from people wanting to "partner" with my company
Jargon Aphasia

Drawing of a brain

Jargon Aphasia refers to speech that is fluent but consists mostly of meaningless or unintelligible words. It is often seen in Wernicke's aphasia, where a person produces long but nonsensical utterances. 

Example:
- "The blenzy is cooking in the frambit."
- "I went to the snergle and found a tomple."

I feel like Charlie Brown lining up for another kick, but here goes nothing - let's see if this is yet another book that brazenly uses "engineering" as shorthand for "software engineering" or if it's actually generalizable advice regardless of specialty

I've heard versions of this throughout my whole career, but it just now strikes me how obnoxious it actually is.
"Engineers are simple,” said Bank of America analyst Ron Epstein. “If you put them in a room with Coca-Cola, doughnuts, a pizza and a cool problem, they’ll never leave. So do you want to fix some old aeroplanes that are having production problems, or do you want to go to Mars?”

Oof, fumbled the snap
Excerpt from a document: "1. The rapid and continued growth of publicly available information (PAI) and commercially available information (CAI) alongside the increasing utility of artificial intelligence (AI) necessitate an updated and forward-looking approach to the use of PAI, CAI, and open source."

Wow I am JUST about to start a new ERP journey and I was wondering about how to unlock lasting value! What a happy coincidence!

My 7 year old saw this picture and said "oh it's Saint Texas!" Because she recognizes it from playing "Texas Hold Em" on Spotify. Because the first few words of that song are "this ain't Texas..."

I can't say much about this but I will say it's kind of surreal to see this being discussed in public 😳
