I'd be happy if people on HN would drop "Learnings." It just shows you never learned the word "lessons."

Somewhere on the internet I once ran across a HN BINGO card. From memory:

   Walled garden
   Regulatory capture
   An unreasonable...
   So...
   Period. Full stop.
   
There were a bunch of others. Enough that the grid was expanded beyond B-I-N-G-O.


Oh, hell yes. The anonymous author of "The Unendurable Horrors of Leadership Camp" agrees as well.

Agreed. Using that "L" word makes one look out-of-touch to me, and I'm disinclined to trust anyone using it.

Same for "performant". There are many ways that something can perform. Are you trying to tell me that something is fast? Why can't you just say that it's fast, and leave it at that?


> Learnings

Sounds like something from Borat
