Like Abe Simpson writing a rambling letter to the local newspaper, I find myself writing this list of words and phrases I would never like to see used again on the Internets.
- Web 2.0
- Mashup
- Beta (when used to mean "we're going to imply that our product or service is fit for a particular purpose and aggressively encourage you to use it but not take responsibility for when it fucks up")
- Long tail
- Don't Repeat Yourself
- Convention over Configuration
- Model-View-Controller
- Object-relational impedance mismatch
- "Hey guys, check out my new half-baked Python web framework!"
- Blogosphere
- Folksonomy
- Services-oriented architecture [1]
- "Rails for --"
- Pinko marketing
- Enterprise anything
- XML configuration file
[1] I still don't know what the fuck this is.
