@zeynep a bit more frustrating in academia where precision matters, and that verbiage makes me doubt whether the person knows their stuff. -
@zeynep of course often that doubt is misplaced in an academic context, but much less so in a media context - Show replies

@zeynep I find it isn't the definition but the failing to clearly articulate an understanding of code & programmer's experience in critique. -
@zeynep ie using it similar to how a poor anthro uses "culture" to cover up complexity one doesn't understand w/o a clear analytic reason
