> I hate the word "just"

This is one of those things that someone pointed out to me, I agreed with them and have since tried to avoid saying "just do ...", "why not just ...", etc.

However, that means I now really notice it from others. sigh

I generally try to avoid the word just. However, I'll still occasionally use it during a code review, when I see a large amount of code that can be replaced by something much simpler and smaller.

I am all for it if you are willing and able to sit down and follow through. Or at least show me the way. I can't read minds.

  An ex-coworker introduced the rule that every time someone said "You just..." he increased his estimation by 1 level (standard fibonacci planning poker).
  That was like 15 years ago and I've at least mentioned that rule to every team I've been a part of ever since. It usually works.

  I try to avoid "just" during planning. I just [lol] use it during code reviews.

  I pretty much always give a detailed description, or example code.
