My language barrier after jumping from nursing to the IT industry (words used in conversation and their meanings)

Hello
, nice to meet you. My name is Inoue, and I joined the Beyond Shikoku office in March. As someone who
jumped into the IT industry, a completely different field with no prior experience, my mind was filled with
over the conversations between employees
It felt like we were speaking different native languages; I couldn't understand what they were saying.
I couldn't communicate.

"Ohhhhhh! Speak in words I can understand!!"

I couldn't be so naive as to say something so honest, so I just smiled politely

Three months into my job... I'm too embarrassed to ask anyone!
But I'll introduce some commonly used terms in the IT industry that I secretly learned from Google and books!
I'll also include my (unspoken) feelings as a bonus.
I'd be happy if you read it without thinking, "This is an unnecessary bonus."

Communication is essential for smooth work progress.
Everyday communication is conversation.
