hcaz19607yBut why would you say all that to some random dude in a pub before finding out if he knew anything?
-
I usually just say I'm making a web app or something they can latch their knowledge onto.
I'll explain a small easy part of it. They ask a question, I either agree or correct them. Turn it into a teachable moment.
My Tech. Comm. Professor said when you throw a bunch of jargon at a person, you don't look smart, you look like an asshole.
So I explain things in as simple a language as possible. Not saying your an asshole, just what my professor taught us about using jargon . -
Why are you building something that massive on Heroku
Just put it on aws and convert some to Lambda -
Crazed20507yBuddy you're at a pub, not at work. Lower the bar a bit. Simplify what you're doing or you'll sound like those kids that are just walking thesaurus', haha

ellgar137yThats just a dick move. Any real programmer knows how to talk to non-programmers about what they’re doing. Any mention of any technical jargon is incredibly douchey.

Brolls31557y@scholl3ss I have dreams about the columns and changing their sizes just so I don’t have to fucking learn how to clearfix 😂

*me, coding at a pub*
*random dude walks up to me*
He: "what are you doing? Programming? What?"
Me: "yup. That's a horizontally and vertically scalable webservice, that's using amqp, rest APIs and encryption to schedule starting, stopping and autoscaling of a total of 90 heroku applications. This webinterface *showing* allows you to trigger starts and stops manually and monitor all processes."
He: "oh, so you are programming a Website? In HTML?"
Me: "euhm........ Yes."
I understand this dude had probably no clue what I was talking about.. Yet I am angry at him. Reducing more than 12k loc to HTML... Go fuck yourself.
