[SlideShare] Tech Talk 2017: Sucking Mud, EL15 and Wave a Dead Chicken

Written by Tim O'Neill | 9/21/17 12:00 PM

The lazy days of summer are over and it’s time to sharpen our minds and have a few laughs along the way. In my third annual installment of Garland Tech Talk, I’m here to share with you the secret server-room jargon used in the cyber world.

In my first rendition of Tech Talk, back in 2015, I explained Yak Shaving and Smurfing. Last year, we uncovered, Cowboy Code, Monkey Patching and Cat Waxing.

I promise to not disappoint you this year. Let’s expand your vocabulary and make you a hit at parties. If you need that explained simpler, then go straight to Tech Term: ELI5.


I hope you have fun with this latest installment of Tech Terms. Interested in contributing to the next edition of Tech Talk?
