Stop using big words and industry jargons (and what to do instead)

This article argues that using complex jargon and industry-specific terms creates barriers when teaching programming.

Using examples like 'interoperability' and 'encapsulation', it provides practical advice on replacing or clearly explaining technical terms to improve understanding and communication.
