If I had a dollar every time a non software engineer used the word "just" in a sentence...

"Just" convert this Matlab code to C++

"Just" make it faster

"Just" have it done in a week

Just take these Oracle schemas and move them to Postgres... how hard can it be? Yep, was on the receiving end of that.

Even as the super experienced, badass programmer that I am, I have to stop myself from wanting to say that word too.

Well i could make the web crawler faster, but...

runFaster = True

There you go

Sometimes I want to kill my roommate when he is asking me a favor in helping him out with programming tasks for university. (He is a mechanical engineer student)

"But surely it's just a case of...". The next dumb prick that tries to tell me how to do my job using that form of words will find that, actually, it's just a case of getting my knee in his nuts.

My standard reply (to a Dev who uses 'just'): well why don't you just do it?

You'd be poor if compared to me earning a dollar every time a person working or studying at a university tries to claim that it's _obvious_ that some condition leads to another or means something.
