Here's a mental exercise - do you immediately think you know what this command does?

    PING

Junior developer: PING is used to check if a host is reachable by a network

Middle developer: PING constructs and sends ICMP packets to an address

Senior developer: what machine, what OS?

Junior manager: Don't care, ask a techie if you need to do something technical

Middle manager: Ask <techies name> about it, I know he has great experience with it

Senior manager: PING is used to check if a host is reachable by a network

Senior developers fail to communicate their expertise, because that expertise is developed and formed by asking more questions than answers, and managers fail to understand the capabilities of "their techies", because managers see question-asking techies as counter-productive, and attempt to route around them. Managers only want answers, developers know the value of asking deep questions.

Thus, AI.

(BTW, PING is a command that produces a distinct sound on the Oric-1/Atmos computers, and it is thus an Onomatopoeia.. I know this, because I am a Senior Oric-1/Atmos Developer who knows what lies at #FA9F, how it works, what the 14 bytes are for, and so on.. because I once asked the question, "how does PING go 'poooinnng' but ZAP go 'zap'?")

AI: <asks billions of questions in a second>PING is ..
