SirReal: here it is! Silicon Valley Slang Dictionary is back up. sabram.com Check out the 'favorites.' -g- Mine include 'Deadfish Idaho' and 'Nerd Bird' .... but there are so many that are so funny. The condescension is palpable ... which I find also very funny. And interesting. Perhaps I'm somewhat of a nerd/geek myself ... sans any interest or real ability in programming, etc. As a user and as an 'investor' in tech it provides interesting perspective on what might really go on within these companies. At about the same time a few years ago that I discovered this site, I read a book -- Oh! here's a book some here might also enjoy -- similar 'genre' re Silicon Valley tech employee perspectives ... 'The First 20 Million is Always the Hardest.' by Po Bronson. He was formerly a bonds trader and then a writer for 'Wired' magazine. His first book is great as well ... about bonds trading. 'The Bombardiers.' Novels, these are.
