I tried to double click into this but I think there's an impedance mismatch. When you have the bandwidth, can you ping me back with some extra color on how this phrase fits in with synergistic corporate jargon?
Let's put a pin in that, it's bigger than a breadbox and we'll have to circle back when there is more bandwidth.
It's bizarre to me that my original comment was downvoted/flagged. Guess it triggered the tech managers on HN
It's an idiom that dates back to the 1500s that means accidentally getting rid of the good part of a subject while trying to get rid of the bad part.
Not exactly corporate or jargon.
It's also present (as in, a direct translation) as a casual phrase in other languages, like Polish.
