Your comment brings me back to my first mirror making adventure, I was absolutely overwhelmed by the jargon and acronyms used by the mirror making community... a few years later I internalized it and use it as if it was common knowledge. I should put little explanations or details in my posts.

A friend of mine once told me - learning a new field is all about learning the language of that field

What they hear:

"Exorcise the lattice hoard to siphon the new incarnation."

What we said:

"Purge the web cache to download the new version."

A friend of mine asked me why we have such precise terminology in IT; I asked her why English has so many different words for "chair".

That's a big part of it, but far from everything.

There was enough there for me to get the basic idea, which is fine I think. Can't really expect every niche post to have all the details necessary for a general audience and it's fun to get a glimpse into these worlds anyway.

Thanks for sharing the post!
