Like how all tech blogs nowadays writes "leverage" instead of "use".

"I leveraged a hammer on these nails" sounds hilariously stupid, but it's quite literally using the word leverage for an action that has leverage, unlike tech blogs.

Oh don’t be silly, you don’t just leverage a hammer… you leverage the synergy of your entire toolchain! ;)
