Seems like a good time to confirm the upcoming buzzword/KPI of the year.

I was at an industry conference this week and heard my first live instance of 'let's double click into that' by someone leading a panel. If it wasn't for this thread I don't think I would have even caught it.

I like "Take this offline" because it's a nice way to say "stfu about this right now" And "Have the bandwidth" is a nice "I will only do new thing if you agree something old can be dropped". Double click is stupid.

“We’re just going to put that one in the parking lot for now.” The parking lot is a bunch of stickies on a flip-pad. Glad I’ve never heard double-click in the context you folks are speaking of. It’s nice to have one area of my corporate life more sane than yours. Of course, we put the moose on the table at my last place soooo…

I blame this thread, I had never noticed double-click in the wild until like a month ago and it was after someone mentioned it here. Nails on chalkboard.

The collapse of the soviet union 2. 9/11 3. Covid And honestly I don't know if they're even "unprecedented" so much as "massive and difficult to plan for". Inflation, recession and constant war and death feel entirely precedented.

FAUXTON posted:it depends on the field, if you give no fucks in sales it's probably praised but if you give no fucks in, say, ADA compliance, you'll probably have trouble. I’ve worked my whole career in and around the design side and I think “giving no fucks” is fairly standard.

The interesting thing is that "double-click" hasn't permeated my workplace much like the others that are being mentioned here (bandwidth, taking it offline, parking lot, even the dreaded "ask" as a noun - a particular pet peeve of mine) I think I'm aware enough that if I had heard it, I would have noticed it and I had to hold back a laugh at this conference (especially as I was near-ish the front of the room).
