Ever pretended to know what a specific technical term means? And after a while it just became awkward to ask?
We've all been there. The software development industry is one of knowledge workers, combine that with an alarming amount of developers suffering of imposter syndrome and we get the "yes I know what that means", instead of asking for an explanation.
In this session we will go through terminologies like tree-shaking, linking, just-in-time, garbage collection and many others that I have discovered people are pretending to know about. Even if you can place the words, I will try to give you a better understanding of what it actually does.
