One intentional and seemingly beneficial language change I’ve made over the years is to reframe “absence of negative” conversations into “presence of positive”.

Examples:

  • Reduce Tech Debt -> Create engineering invariants

  • Reduce system complexity -> Increase transparency

  • Reduce latency -> Improve performance

  • Reduce process -> Increase feedback cycle frequency

  • Eliminate unknowns -> Build confidence

This framing forces me to articulate why doing something differently will be beneficial. Along the lines of “freedom from” to “freedom to” lens.
