buzzwords

The tech industry is overflowing with buzzwords. I’m not sure if other industries are the same, but I know I am inundated with buzzwords on a daily basis, sometimes to the point of exhaustion.

George Carlin, one of my favorite comedians, has his “Seven dirty words” so I figured I’d list the seven dirty buzzwords I can do without for quite some time.

1. platform
2. pluggable (plugins)
3. enterprise
4. scalability (scalable)
5. high availability
6. extensibility
7. architecture

If I never hear the above words again it wouldn’t bother me in the least. And you may notice I avoided the acronym hell that JEE (yes I’m using one of them) puts you through, that’s a much longer list.
