Tom Evslin offers a list for CEO’s to decipher the true meaning of programmer-speak. Some examples are,

“It’ll be done ASAP.”
Translation: There is no schedule yet.

“That feature shouldn’t add any time to the schedule.”
Translation: There is no schedule yet.

The list is humorous but several comments on the post state that Tom is right on target.

Tom’s second post of this series takes a look at the meaning of “Done” in regards to software projects.
