Good one 🀣 I don't think I have ever used the word to mean "managing social networks" or the likes 🀣

It's a trick question anyway, most programmers are probably bad at both Ü

It is very common to use ACK in social contexts as well if you work in IT I have found. Like "had a meeting about that issue, awaiting ACK from John"

She was SYN flooded, if y'know what I mean...
