tech spiral

When a high-level technical discussion is derailed by a pernickety exploration of implementation details. Often exacerbated by a heady brew of opinion and speculation.

We were ploughing through our daily stand-up the other day until that bogan plunged us into a tech spiral, costing us 25 minutes with a discussion on the correct means of parsing hashes.

tech collar

Sophisticated crime done by the technologically advanced cyber Hacker.

They've broken through the firewalls, our counter attacks have been corrupt. The tech collar criminals have complete control of the network and all systems we’re locked out.

Tech Butler

A sarcastic term for an IT professional, developer, or tech-savvy person who is constantly asked to perform menial or personal tech tasks that fall far outside their actual job description. These tasks often include fixing home Wi-Fi, resetting passwords, setting up someone's new phone, or explaining how to open a PDF — usually for coworkers, friends, or family members who treat them like on-call digital servants.

Used when:
Someone expects tech support on demand, no matter how irrelevant or inappropriate the request is.

Boss: "Hey, can you help me install TikTok on my daughter's iPad real quick?"
Dev: "I'm deploying a critical update right now."
Boss: "It'll only take a sec."
Dev: "Right. Because I’m your Tech Butler."

Tech Leapfrog

The act of ignoring a technology fad because you feel it will be short-lived and not worth the trouble to learn.

I’m going to tech leapfrog over Twitter. People mocked me because I never learned how to program a VCR and now who looks like a genius?

Analyzer Tech

The God of Gods among men. The most badass and intelligent son of a bitch to walk onto a jobsite. Outclass, outwork, and straight up outgun anybody that comes in his path. It is known that gazing upon their greatness can turn even the Best Engineer into a hollow shelled panzy crying for his mommie. Revered as the brains of the operation and life itself. Hung as well as a James. Women kneel to blow him. No Analyzer can live without him. All obey him
