Yesterday, I was knee deep in Polymorphic Json deserialization, custom converters and branched state machine paths.

If you came to me, before yesterday, uttering any of these terms: I would have tuned out, run away or decided never to ask you a question again.

But when you& #39;re thrown at the problem and have no choice but to figure it out, you& #39;ll realize it isn& #39;t that complex at all.

Harkens back to the Rx days. Yes it was complex; my "functional reactive programing" skills were minimal/non existant; But we figured it out! (mostly)

Personal learnings:

1. Don& #39;t be afraid of highfalutin fancy pants tech terms. They& #39;re not always as complex as they sound.

2. I& #39;m going to consciously try to not use fancy terms when attempting to explain these concepts to others.

If I do use these terms... I& #39;ll make sure that the listener also shares the lexicon for these terms.

Otherwise I& #39;m doing everybody in that conversation a disservice.
