    A List Apart[^]:

    “Just” makes me feel like an idiot. “Just” presumes I come from a specific background, studied certain courses in university, am fluent in certain technologies, and have read all the right books, articles, and resources.

      This sound oh so familiar for some reason. "But what if blah, blah, blah happens?" "We'll just have to deal with any problems as they arise." Thanks, boss.

      Comments from work:

      • "Why can't you just do it like everybody else?"
      • "Well, we haven't had any complaints yet."
      • "I just want to get it into production."
      • "It only matters if it’s important to someone who matters."

        I suppose "management consultant" is two words, so that is valid...

              That's the worst one, "sure just add an option to view this desktop application as a responsive web app to the settings screen" etc, eugh!
