the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity.
The ego is the mediator between our conscious and unconscious minds, responsible for grounding us in reality and shaping our sense of self.

Get the Ego mug.When an Engineer is consumed with self-esteem and glory, that despite the downfalls of the supporting product, environment, or company, and subsequent technical debt they are surrounded with (and possibly creating), they assist on creating the "shinny" new thing, and taking all the glory for its bloated success.
James Bond loved being in the spotlight so much, that he sacrificed the integrity of his work and well being of his team, to speedily re-created the company website on his own without consulting his team members. The results worked well, for 1/2 of all customers, but hey! Its really shinny! His ego-engineering communications and broadcast got him promoted, though he continues to break and create technical debt for the Company.

Get the ego-engineering mug.Hym "Didn't I write about this earlier? People like invoking ego as though it alters in any way shape or form what is actually happening. You pay me for that AI you cripple. My ego is exactly where it should be. This is nothing more that vapid motivation policing coming from dog-shit people who would throw the lives of your children in the dumpster literally to get away with stealing. They're already in the ground. The YouTube fucks wanted to make a point about rape porn and/or their religion and now you can kiss your kids goodbye. Elon doesn't think he has to credit or pay me. He thinks he can go on Jordan Peterson's podcast and give a wink and a nod to somebody who 'AI wouldn't be where it is today without *so-and-so*' and we all have to pretend he didn't just dare me to murder your kids. Should I take the dare? What about the weaponized schizophrenia? Is that happening or is it not happening? What am I wrong about here?"

Get the Invoking Ego mug.A tool brand that sells overpriced, heavy and bulky batteries with run times definitely not commensurate to the price. Their leaf blowers are not too expensive and decent enough but nothing to write home about.
My new Ego leaf blower cost $450 and barely lasts half an hour on the biggest $150 battery but does blow hard.
Meanwhile I paid less than $200 for a Chinese brand 2 stroke blower that blows hard and has lasted me five years and runs for hours between refuels and my dewalt 60v battery cost just $130 but lasts hours even after 4 years worth of charge cycles.

Get the Ego mug.A conversational tactic in which someone dismisses or undermines another person by questioning their identity, status, or perceived relevance, rather than engaging with the actual topic or argument at hand. Often used to shift focus away from the subject matter, it serves as a subtle (or not-so-subtle) power move intended to challenge someone’s credibility, diminish their voice, or frame them as some random person in the discussion.
Guy 1: “Man, this dude’s music is straight garbage. I don’t get how anyone listens to him.”
Guy 2: “I mean, I get where you’re coming from, but honestly, his production’s clean and his flow’s not that bad.”
Guy 3: “Nigga who even are you? Nobody is talking to you. You’re just some random jumping in.”
Guy 2: “Bro, I’m just giving my take. It’s a public convo.”
Guy 1: “Exactly. Why are you always egoing people, man? Just stick to the topic.”

Get the Egoing mug.egoing is when someone hints towards something that they know that isn't common knowledge.
intentionally making you curious and usually leading them into being peer pressured to tell you. (called egoing because the people who do it usually have big egos thinking their smart for being untrusted and knowing stuff.)
