Why no one understands your jargon and mumbo jumbo

To an ignoramus like me, a house is either nice or ugly. But to a realtor, there’s something called ”curb appeal”.

Every job in every industry has its own jargon and lingo—did you set the right OKRs and KPIs? Send me the CTAs and CTRs ASAP!

Much of these terms are silly and somewhat arbitrary. But they exist because every professional has simply thought about their subject much more than every non-professional. They’ve spent a LOT more time with the problem than we have.

Even Einstein said, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."

For a realtor, the problem of selling a house is nothing new.

There’s not much I can teach the 80-year-old cardiac surgeon I golfed with about human anatomy, but he doesn’t know GitHub from Vercel and thinks a Pull Request is something naughty.

So it’s hard to judge AI if we don’t immerse ourselves in it.
