🐝 The synergistic thread of data-driven agile community-based buzzwords leveraged to present a business and personal advantage

.... i'd try to chase after her, but i learned long ago i can't outrun a hedgehog....

One I just got caught using: task as a verb.
-
Using
task
as a verb has been around a while though…
-
@jaloopa just told me off for saying I was tasked with doing something.

So has murder. Doesn't mean it's acceptable
-
I think that's the thing. It does an update unless the item doesn't exist, in which case, it inserts it. After which you're sure that there's exactly one record and it has those details.
yes upsert is good.
It's a portmanteau, and not really a buzzword that I know of, I've only ever heard it in specific reference to database things.If someone were using it to describe synergized cloud interactions or something.... that's a buzzworthy
-
of course I was ed by a full day.
speaking of buzzwords... they all love to go for the "quick win" here, which is business speak for "we don't have time for you to do the job right, just make it happen"
-
"we don't have time for you to do the job right, just make it happen"
Sometimes that's because “we agreed a contract to do this waaay back but there's no money left and nobody really gives a shit except one legalistic tosspot; do the minimum to get this stuff out the way so we don't end up in court”. It's best to not let things get in that state, but it happens occasionally.

@apapadimoulis isn't mean or abusive…
No, he isn't... I forget that he's sort of the actual host since he floats in and out... he more of a
slumlordabsentee landlord

end point
-
I've used it, but it's used in relations to 'taskings' - for example "Let's re-task this team to tasking AFRCC-1-A and move them to grid 4A"

You sunk my Battleship!

Something like that :)
Wrong branch though

Catalogizing

In related news, went to USS NC a month or so ago and those guns.
I can't imagine what it was like when they fired.

It looks like you're trying to spell 'catalog[ue]ing'. Would you like help?

I imagine it was loud

Was near one at the Dahlgren testing range... it was something. Each of the experiences of heat, light, heat and pressure came at you one at a time, each right after the other. Can't imagine repeated salvoes.
(this was back when the Iowa-class ships were still in commission )

This year'sOur CEO (or his secretary) has just sent out his weekly missive. We are, it seems, to be graced with the presence of another chief while the number of indians is somewhat lacking.Irregardless - the name of this new post?
Talent & Development Manager
She will be performing such things as helping us all
identify the competencies required for our roles
and
build plans for future technical and management training, as well as performance management training
So. "Head of training" then. Or "Doing what the line managers and/or personnel should be, and used to, do."
-
pff, that's no "Director of Digital Innovation"

Back when I was a kid, my Scoutmaster was ex-Navy and had served on a battleship. I vaguely remember him telling us that the windows on the bridge are supposed to be open when they're firing the big guns. One time somebody forgot. There's a good reason they're supposed to be open; the pressure turned them into little fragments of airborne glass.

This was on a the contact page of an insurance company's website:

So....social network, cloud, dick. Seems like about the right progression to me.

Looks like a case of phimosis in the middle.
Circumcision is highly recommended.
-
That's brilliant. The image is still live on the site, too.
-
Which site?
-
GIS pointed me here...
-
Tineye pointed me here...
-
Well it's a stock picture so it's likely to be in many websites.
But alright, I found it here: http://www.ferrerojeda.com/Contacto.aspx

On-boarding.
I'd avoided this one until recently, and now it's being used all over the place.
-
As long as you're not getting on board with it...
-

Maybe in your domain. In mine, it goes all the way back to 2000.
Which probably means it's on its way out by now. Though I most recently heard it last Wednesday.

Read today in an email from TPTB:
- role modeling as a verb
- waterfall as a verb. From context I gather it means "tell your underlings".
-
waterfall as a verb. From context I gather it means "tell your underlings".
I have also seen it used to mean "hand down old equipment to less demanding users;" i.e., users most in need of high-performance get new equipment, the next tier of users get their old stuff, and so on, until the oldest stuff has nobody to pass it down to, and it gets scrapped.
-
Don't know if this term exists in the land of V8s, pickups, and cheeseburgers, but we Brits would call that 'hand-me-down'.
-
Yes it does, but getting a "waterfalled" laptop sounds better than getting a hand-me-down laptop. At least in the mind of the IT person that coined the term.

Talent & Development Manager
That is pretty much my wife's job title. ;) (You need to add some initials and another buzzword, but close)

We always use the much more technical sounding term for that "deprecation". If you look up the literal translation of it, it fits better also.
-

That wouldn't fit the context. It was from an email about reaching a training quota before some date.
-
That wouldn't fit the context.
I did not say, and did not intend to imply, that the usage fit your context. It was merely another example of "waterfall" used as a verb.
-

That's what I gathered you meant with "also"
I haven't heard "waterfall" being used the way you describe, so TIL.
-
I haven't heard "waterfall" being used the way you describe
That usage may be peculiar to one specific (large, multi-national) former employer. I somewhat hope so; I don't particularly want to encourage its spread.
I think I have also heard your usage, occasionally.

-
I have an example of buzzwordery... was on the train today visiting family and the clean-up crew were on the train removing the rubbish.
But they're not cleaning crew, oh no, they're the Train Presentation Team. SRSLY.
-
At my job they'd probably be called Custodial Engineers.
-
In the same way I am officially a Software Engineer, even though I have not had any formal training as such and don't feel that the code slinging I do is worthy of 'engineer' as a title. I'd happily accept Software Developer as a title though.
But yeah, this whole puffing up of a role to make it sound more pretentious and less demeaning is weird and probably stupid.
-
Yes it does, but getting a "
waterfalledwaterfell" laptop sounds better than getting a hand-me-down laptop. At least in the mind of the IT person that coined the term.FTFY
-
This thread reminded me that I need to reach out to my peers and touch base re: our deliverables. After all, I need to be proactive, not reactive.
-
And leverage your synergy with your workplace environment consumers to ensure qualitative deliverables are provided in a timely and efficacious manner.
-
If you could revert back to me once that's productionised, that would be great
