compsoy parrot

A normally programming adjacent person (does not do any real programming, aka a compsoy person), who fills up their word dictionary with technical nonsense buzz words, spews them condescendingly, with or without understanding what they are actually talking about.
Compsoy parrot: I get the impression that you believe that these development skills are linear. This is not the case, as codebases live in multi-dimensional lossy conceptual spaces. When new developers arrive, it's valuable to ensure that there is a diverse array of conceptual entrypoints for them.

Person 2: I get the impression that you don't mind that i spent the last night with your mother. She was really impressed by my non-linear development skills. Now shut up you compsoy parrot, and try doing some actual programming instead of spewing random garbage

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
