  • Your comment reminded me of this moment I had at an office lunch table:

    Someone from sales: I’ve been having a terrible day, the P-O-C at {client company} is being annoying yadda yadda…

    Someone from HR: glaring, and taking mental notes.

    Me, a dev: wondering how things could’ve gone wrong considering that we hadn’t even shipped anything for them.

    It took us all a moment to realize that "PoC " meant different things to each of us - Point of Contact, Person of Colour, and Proof of Concept. Somehow the salesperson could’ve been talking about any of those and it’d make, so none of us questioned ourselves first.
