Especially when it comes to business. I just got off of a meeting with a company that focuses on “monetizing the user experience journey” and the amount of jargon that was used just left me yearning to go tend a field instead.

        Part of my job is to review new technology people want to implement at the company I work for. The amount of times I’ve been sent a proposal so full of this shit that I can’t even tell what the thing I’m reviewing actually is/does is crazy. Sometimes even going to the website for the product doesn’t help. It’s infuriating. I feel like a lot of stuff just exists for business execs to buy so they have a new project to be in charge of for a while until the next thing comes along. It actually working is a lesser concern.

      The phrase “create value” drives me up a wall.

      Sometimes we don’t need more “value”, we just need something that gets the job done. See: forced appreciation and housing prices.
