True! I just think it's particularly exaggerated in IT.

I agree!
With most disciplines theres usually a historical reference, homage, or literal-ness to the naming conventions… that can be searched for that will tend to help in illumination.
With software it kind of sort of started out that way… and has seemly devolved into this semblance of appropriating every word ever for who-the-fuck-knows-what… gotta say it’s better than pharmaceutical’s naming conventions. I mean at least software tends to use actual words!
