Do technical jargons make you uncomfortable? Do you get intimidated by them?

It's quite natural but try not to be bothered by fancy words you may or may not understand. How well you build software has little, if any, bearing on whether or not you understand these jargons. Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com!

Wondering what that one feature is which will make all the difference?

Do more of what think you do not like. Sounds weird?

When we like something, we will naturally find a way to do more of that (as we should). When we do not like something, we tend to shy away from it. Also, natural, but is there another way to go about it?   Manage Projects on https://snowpal.com!
