If you’ve ever wondered why “quick fix” became a four-letter word, this is your confession booth. IT Dictionary is the survival manual for anyone who’s ever shipped code on a Friday, sat through a “quick sync” that lasted two hours, or watched a feature request mutate into a platform migration. After nearly two decades as a developer, DevOps engineer, consultant, freelancer, and team lead, Adam Korga has seen it all: broken builds, cargo-cult Agile, and meetings that could have been emails. Instead of therapy, he wrote this book—part Dante’s Inferno, part technical glossary, part comedy special. Across five realms—Core IT, Agile Rituals, Corpoland, Startupistan, and AI—the Dictionary translates what we say versus what we actually mean. Discover why: “It’s a quick win” → your weekend is gone. “We’re building for scale” → we’re overengineering a to-do list. “The model is 94% accurate” → once, in perfect conditions. You’ll laugh, wince, and find solidarity in tales of sprint planning as séance, legacy code held together with prayers, and “AI-powered” products that are really just three interns and a spreadsheet. ⚠️ Warning: laughter not guaranteed, offense highly probable. And no, you still can’t forward it to your boss. Praise for IT Dictionary "This book explains why I drink" — Anonymous Scrum Master "A funny, subversively venomous look at the vagaries of IT support. - Kirkus Reviews (accolade: GET IT) "IT Dictionary directly addresses the soul-crushing minutiae within an enraging experience that most workers of the modern world know intimately. No one has created a way for us to decompress from this corporate chokehold until Adam Korga, until right now." — Independent Book Review (Starred Review) "Adam Korga’s IT DICTIONARY: A Survival Manual for Devs, Dreamers, and Those Still Pretending Their Job Has Structure will raise a laugh with IT professionals who know the grind of keeping a company’s network up and running all too well." — IndieReader
