Sorry, but "life hack" annoys the hell out of me, I know what it means, but it sets my teeth on edge, whats wrong with a "tip" or something ?

Another thing is, text speak in normal conversation.

    Being a stakeholder and being involved are not the same thing. As a software developer I am involved in many projects, but I'm not a stakeholder in them.

    stakeholder /stāk′hōl″dər/

    noun

    1. One who has a share or an interest, as in an enterprise.
    2. One who holds the bets in a game or contest.
    3. The holder of a stake; one with whom the bets are deposited when a wager is laid.

    It's quite an important distinction. You need to know the stakeholders on a project as those are the ones with the requirements. Otherwise you risk building the wrong thing.

    Not sure if stakeholder and stake holder (vampire hunter) have a common origin.
