for me the most annoying one is “escape hatch”.

Everything is an escape hatch, try catch is an escape hatch, a cli flag is an escape hatch. It makes no sense, and quickly ended up in my “banned words and phrases” md file

Huh, we have a process which has several exit criteria - which are pretty expensive to calculate with multiple rest calls to get through each...

I've always called them exit hatches, entirely unrelated to llms...

Now I wonder if I need to reword the docs... But realistically speaking, llms are the only readers of them nowadays, so I guess it doesn't matter.
