The conversation is quite mixed up in Startups where I'm from. In enterprise it's mostly native language. Depending on where you work one or the other will sound strange to you.

I'll put some examples on my native language: Spanish (I'm from Argentina).

Enterprise: "Pensamos desplegar a producción este Sábado". Startup: "Pensamos deployar a prod este Sábado" (deployar => to deploy).

In the startup scene there are lot of English terms commonly used: "logueado" (to be logged in), "rollbackear" (to rollback), feature, endpoint, queries, cache, "checkear" (to check). Some of them are used to sound cool, other just because it's easier.

Lately I'm trying to stop mixing things up and I notice it brings a certain deep to my understanding of things. As if something is lost in translation.

Do you have some references on that phenomenon?

Same exact situation. Bad team leads usually come with bad management, as these can't seem to notice how bad a climate they generate around them.

Key points to bad team leadership: bad or no communication at all with your team members, no clear vision/direction, lack of ability to delegate.
