in Learn when to keep your mouth shut on Ben Kessler
I agree that you raise many good points when discussing your ideas with friends. I would like to say that I am not a fan of being referred to as a "code-monkey", as it demeans the roll programmers play in the bigger scheme of things (like implementing your ideas). I'm not sure of the context of your situation so I can't really comment directly on it, though. It all boils down to having respect for your friends and peers. This situations do let us know who are friends really are (and aren't). Friends close, enemies closer.

in The LAST place I expected to find *social*… on Alex Hillman Writes Here
I was following on twitter, and was confused, as I didn't hear about the event at all. I tried to Direct message you just to get context of what meeting you were at, but alas, you weren't following me. Thanks, though, for blasting out your thoughts to the masses. It was interesting and it sounds like it went well, overall.

in drew olanoff dot com. - Ok, that's it. The next time I hear the word "User"... on drew
I don't think I've ever thought about it like that. I use the word "audience", but I'm not sure if I frequently say "user" over "guest". Regardless, I'm backing this, and will do my best to catch myself, whenever I do start to say "user".

drewolanoff I have had meetings where I've kicked and screamed about this, and I get shot down every single time.

Everything has to be so sterile and technical. Enough.

If someone has a better phrase or one that works for them, they should use it!

The death of the term user must come.
