Thanks, Łukasz. Such an important point. Too often, technical people are our own worst enemies when it comes to this stuff. We toss around technical language in discussions with our business customers without proper context and they pick up bits and pieces and start to throw them back at us in non-contextual ways. We need to first speak the customer's language and provide feedback in the same way and only then start to use more technical terms in more consistent and precise manners. And, above all, determine the problem that needs to be solved FIRST.
