Ever wondered why "quick fix" feels like a four-letter word in IT? Welcome to IT Dictionary - the survival guide for developers, engineers, and managers who've lived through the absurdity of modern tech. Equal parts glossary, satire, and therapy session, it explains the strange rituals, buzzwords, and contradictions that make modern workplaces feel like a mix of startup chaos, corporate bureaucracy, and badly scripted comedy. Across five parts, you'll find bite-sized definitions and wicked commentary:Core IT - Survival Mode Activated: the daily grind of tickets, production outages, and coffee-driven troubleshooting. Agile Rituals and Other Cargo Cults: when "sprints" feel like marathons and ceremonies verge on religion. Corpoland - Where Ideas Go to Get Approved: buzzwords as currency, mandatory alignment, and endless committees. Startupistan - Chaos, Hoodie and Deadline: MVPs, pivots, no-code hell, and founder logic that defies gravity. AI - The New Kid in Town: hallucinations, hype, and the uncanny valley of trendy predictions. Along the way you'll discover why every "quick sync" takes two hours, why the words "simple change" strike fear into engineers, and why performance reviews often feel like a séance with middle management. Perfect for:Software engineers who've muttered "it works on my machine." Product managers who know "simple" is the most dangerous word. QA testers who still hear phantom Jira notifications in their sleep. Anyone who has survived corporate off-sites, endless PowerPoints, or that one colleague who says "let's align." Perfect Gift ¿¿¿¿ Whether it's for a new hire in IT, a friend drowning in corporate buzzwords, or that one tech colleague who saves you from "weird laptop issues," IT Dictionary is a hilarious, timely, and painfully relatable present. It's the kind of book you leave on your desk so that coworkers think you're reading documentation - until they notice you laughing. Warning: laughter not guaranteed, offense highly probable. And no, you still can't forward it to your boss. "This book explains why I drink." - Anonymous Scrum Master
