* Description:
If you’ve ever wondered why “quick fix” became a four-letter word, this is your confession booth.

IT Dictionary is the survival manual for anyone who’s ever shipped code on a Friday, sat through a “quick sync” that lasted two hours, or watched a feature request mutate into a platform migration.

After nearly two decades as a developer, DevOps engineer, consultant, freelancer, and team lead, Adam Korga has seen it all: broken builds, cargo-cult Agile, and meetings that could have been emails. Instead of therapy, he wrote this book — part Dante’s Inferno, part technical glossary, part comedy special.

Across five realms — Core IT, Agile Rituals, Corpoland, Startupistan, and AI — the Dictionary translates what we say versus what we actually mean. Discover why:

“It’s a quick win” → your weekend is gone.

“We’re building for scale” → we’re overengineering a to-do list.

“The model is 94% accurate” → once, in perfect conditions.

You’ll laugh, wince, and find solidarity in tales of sprint planning as séance, legacy code held together with prayers, and “AI-powered” products that are really just three interns and a spreadsheet.

⚠️ Warning: laughter not guaranteed, offense highly probable. And no, you still can’t forward it to your boss.

Praise for IT Dictionary
“This book explains why I drink.” — Anonymous Scrum Master

“IT Dictionary directly addresses the soul-crushing minutiae within an enraging experience that most workers of the modern world know intimately. No one has created a way for us to decompress from this corporate chokehold until Adam Korga, until right now.” — Independent Book Review
