atw: Re: What word to use when ...

"Deploy" is one of these military weasel words and short be resisted to the end. Just as transport has become logistics.

What are these techies going to call corrupt data when the going live is a disaster? Collateral damage? When they trash user accounts, are they going call that friendly fire?

If they want to use military terminology, form a resistance and go underground.

Jeeze, next thing they'll embedding tech writers in the development team. I feel sick.

Well, the guideline we have at work is *eeewwww* :->

Worse is that the techs also are trying to insinuate

in a few cases but we're trying to stamp it out in
running text).
