My boss (the VP of Engineering) presented us with an overview of our
respective jobs. Each job contained a "swing thought." The swing thought for
Documentation was "The 5 C's: Concentration, Cohesion, Convention, Contrast,
and Convection."
I have never seen this before. Have any of you? Does he have the correct 5
"c" words? And if so, what do they mean?
I can figure out Cohesion and Convention, and if Contrast is referring to
the design of docs, I've got that one as well, but Concentration and
especially Convection are leaving me puzzled.
Can anyone help me determine what exactly my swing thoughts are?
