@Piggles I’m glad you’ve had a laugh. There are too many serious and angry posts online so I thought a bit of mindless banality was more fun.

Ironically, the most banal shite online is that which the angry posters take so seriously.

Blame it on Brexit, I guess… And indigestion, perhaps… And Trump, of course…

Not at all - having fun is about laughing with people not at people.

Next weeks banter topic is a debate of great linguisto-philsophical importance. Watch this space.

I’ll just leave this here.

leverage

verb

leveraged; leveraging

Definition of leverage (Entry 2 of 2)

transitive verb

1 : to provide (something, such as a corporation) or supplement (something, such as money) with leveragealso : to enhance as if by supplying with financial leverage

2 : to use for gain : EXPLOITshamelessly leverage the system to their advantage— Alexander Wolff

Dictionaries reflect changes in language as used. By campaigning to cause such things to fall out of use we can remove them from the dictionary.
Levers and leverage are scientifically defined terms that have been bastardised by the SoCal tech hipsters.
To leverage is really to lever, verbalising the noun is an extra redundant step.

63

In addition, the common computing use of leverage related to the use of external code or “libraries”

We are leveraging Stacks.

NO
We are using Stacks
Or
We are making use of Stacks.

This is the core of the ambiguity message of this post.
If someone can explain how leverage is a more clear and more suitable term then I am all ears.
