So.. I've been here a couple of months now, and here's a few things I learnt about the language in Silicon Valley:

- Full-stack engineer: fancy name for a true engineer that actually went to college and studied for at least 4-5 years to become one...

- Engineer: apparently anyone who can do a little programming on a computer?

- Fundraising: a process that everybody knows and says that takes at least a couple of months, but you are not supposed to say that you are fundraising when you actually start talking with people about fundraising, because if you’ve been “fundraising” for a couple of months, it will be frowned upon.

- Hacker: basically anybody that can do a little programming, or can do a little of anything I guess, like marketing if you are a “growth hacker” (WTF?!)

- UX expert: good graphic designer that actually studied for a few years (not someone who just knows how to use photoshop)

- Entrepreneur: someone who no matter what he/she is doing, is “changing the world” (as if the world wasn’t constantly changing?)

I definitely appreciate suggestions of how to make best use of the language here for non-natives ;)
