I have been cringing every time I see/hear the word "disrupt" (in its various forms) for a couple years now. In pretty much all cases, the more often a given person uses that word, the more vapid I come to think they are.

"disrupt" is for startups/VC what "beautiful" is for Javascript/CSS frameworks.
and "delightful" for user experience
"Trying to mass-produce [delight] and inject it into interactions is like forcing waiters to wear 37 pieces of flair on their uniforms."

It will be beautiful when we disrupt the use of the word delight.
"elegant" for libraries
Delightfully beautiful elegant disruption.
truly, the worst of all

Amen to both of these.
"bespoke"
Our coworking space did not get your memo: http://www.bespokesf.co/
Don't forget 'a joy to work with'.
Sounds like a line from a new episode of HBO's Silicon Valley.
also "elegant".
simple, clean, lightweight

Can I add "hackers" and "hustlers" to the cringe list please?
