When people start wondering whether something is a technical term, then it is a
big problem. Stefan like all of us, should learn from his mistakes. When
we start getting fuzzy on the technical, I hit the alarm bells.
Nobody can deny that they have been influenced by their family, society,
whatever
kind of work practices. I rise above that, by not being influenced by the
atmosphere. There was a discussion years ago about jokes in code. We agreed
that jokes were fine when they do not interfere with the technical. I have
seen some honest comments in the code, quite enlightening.
