@cjfryer no problem, good question! I'm also thinking of things like when we name UX/UI design concepts (e.g. "kebab") and how we are accessing world knowledge and history to make designs accessible to other cultures (e.g. designs should make sense for right-to-left languages and different cultural reading habits), how we codename projects to capture our intentions, how we differentiate data models, fields, protocols, parameters by their names and still often conflate meaning

@cjfryer actually so much outside thinking and social change is possible in engineering if people think about their words/language in relation to invention/creation

@cjfryer definitely! It flows more in the direction of writing inspired by software. But I have incorporated creativity and language in my engineering work before.
