The Rift
A title given to denote virtual reality. Popularized by people who have spent immense amounts of time in an Oculus Rift headset and were unable to fully communicate the things they had seen and experienced while present in what they consider a different realm.
Recruiter: Why should we hire you for our VR division? Jack: Aye. In my time I have seen many things in the Rift. Things the likes of you, could never imagine... Recruiter: Why are you crying? Jack: I held my virtual daughter in my arms as the light vanished from her eyes. I fought dragons in Russia trying to protect the refugees of a city that's now burnt to the ground. I spent almost two years in isolation in the Rift reading about the ancient tombs of Java Script and Lisp. I'm hoping that this position will help me forget about my past. My time in the Rift. Recruiter: Why am I crying...

CS Fix My Shit Fallacy
The false assumption that anyone who can code or has a computer science degree can fix your computer or any household electronics.
Marco: Hey you study Computerz at that fancy university don' you? Could you fix my toaster? Julian: Hell no. Why would I know how to do something like that. Marco: Because computerz are basically more advance toasterz.

Tech Stars
An incubator people apply to when getting rejected from YC. They aren't definitively worst it just always happens to be your second choice every time.
I gotta move to Boston now that we got into Tech Stars and need a semi reputable incubator.

That's Startup Life
The default response whenever someone talks about how shitty being an entrepreneur is.
Kim: I've been working for the past 15 hours, can't afford anything but Taco Bell and investors are telling me they want to circle back in a few months. We all know what that means. This sucks.
Matthew: That's startup life. What do you expect?

Facebook Reach
Facebook reach is the number of people that see posts from Facebook pages. Organic Facebook reach has dropped since Facebook made changes to their feed algorithm to encourage companies to buy ads promoting page posts.
It's almost pointless for our startup to promote our Facebook page because we will have to pay to get any Facebook reach.

Meals on demand. That's right, we're revolutionizing the way you get pizza.

Tweetstorm
When somebody wants to tweet something that is more than 140 characters but is not considerate enough to link to a blog post or use an image. Tweets in a tweetstorm are generally numbered and look like a mini essay in your Twitter feed.

Haashole
A student pursuing an undergraduate, Masters, or PhD degree from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business.
I don't know whether to add Derrick to our Hackathon team. He's just a Haashole who tries too hard and doesn't understand how anything works. He's a great bullshiter though so maybe he would be useful for the presentation.

Deliverables
A startup uses this word when it's no longer a startup
"Hey congrats on the series B!"
"Thanks! Are your deliverables in yet?"
orien almost 4 years agoBig 4
For a software engineer this generally refers to Amazon, Facebook, Google and Microsoft.
If I don't get into a Big 4 my life is over. They are so prestigious

Single Point of Failure
When your start-up has only one unisex toilet for the whole building.

My Code is Compiling
An excuse engineers use to do whatever the hell they want in the workplace.
Jimmy: Dude why are you riding your bike indoors, listening to Daft Punk with the speakers blasted, without any pants on?
Lewis: My code is compiling.

Duck Syndrome
The duck syndrome is where on the surface of things, someone seems normal and are floating along peacefully. However, the truth is that underneath the water the person is paddling feverishly to keep going.
People: Oh dude! Everything in the startup world seems fun!
You: Oh yeah man! I love it, it's super easy. *cries deeply inside*

Venture Dunce
A "VC" outside of the Bay Area that has little to no experience in software/hardware, enterprise, and consumer plays. Often seen funding the nth food delivery market place or Uber meets bicycles. The dumb money that keeps many startups fed.
Just raised $10mm from the Venture Dunce for my Uber meets Chinese food delivery. Hope he doesn't visit the Bay Area much.

The Zuckerberg Like
When a Facebook employee reaches a major life milestone and Mark Zuckerberg has acknowledged their existence by liking their Facebook profile picture. This normally happens after their team pushes a major feature onto the Facebook web or mobile client..
I've been working at Facebook as a Product Manager for 3 years and I've finally gotten the Zuckerberg like. I nearly fainted. I'm going to work here until I'm dead.

Freemium
A strategy used by startups to make money by shoving as many people through the top of a funnel as possible and hoping some of them convert into paid users.
Matthew: Right now we have a shitty product that nobody will pay for. Lets release it for free so at least somebody will use it and then we can gradually improve it and charge them for extra services.

One Dollar Billionaire
Refers to the $1 a year salary that a lot of founders and top executives take on for tax benefits. It's also because who really cares about salary when you have a billion dollars.
Mark Zuckerberg: I make $1 a year. You know what that means

Technical Social Media Manager
Somebody who in addition to being able to retweet and favorite tweets mentioning their company's name also knows basic HTML.
I've managed to carve a nice niche for myself by learning how to bold text using html

Slacking
Using a productivity tool called Slack to get work done or communicate with one's team. This can easily be confused to mean "not doing one's work."
Jack: You've been getting alot done. James: Yeah man, I've been slacking all day.
