eventuell and aktuell are two great ones ask any tech worker shat eventual consistency is in german and then get very frazzled

Whoa, that's indeed a good one.

I think the best option would be to turn it into an adjective:

irgendwannkonsistent.

"Sometime" consistent and "eventually" consistent, not the same things and still confusing.

Maybe better: "letzendlichkonsistent"

My Austrian co-worker hates talking tech in German - it just doesn't roll of the tongue and he's more comfortable in English with that domain.

Same. I live in Vienna, and converse with my technical colleagues in English most of the time - although they do expect me to keep up with their crazy dialects over the coffee machine, an activity I find often quite fun, oida...

If you like comics, "Asterix speaks Viennese" might help: https://www.diepresse.com/5450586/asterix-auf-wienerisch-wap...

I've seen Asterix in printed form in Schwäbisch, Swabian. Also in, uh, can't recall if it was Karjalaa or Savvoo, the Carelian or Savonian dialect of Finnish. Maybe both.
