OMG I can't beleive this happened to ME! I had this customer who called me to ask me what Java was. And I just went blank, I have a basic idea of what it is, but for some reason I just could'nt put it on words to her. I felt so stupid... so I transferred her to cust care; she also wanted to cancel one line....

JAVA is a coding language used to make programs. I haven't played with it in about 5 years, but I definitely remember writing scripts and then compiling them into a .jar file. So... to avoid confusing the customer when they ask just keep it simple. "JAVA is a coding language used to write programs." Avoid using pronouns, and if they ask about what a "coding language" is you should probably sigh and say "Computer guts".

you should have said "java is made by underpants gnomes, what they do is they come into your house at night and they steal your underwear and socks, then they have this form of paper mache that they use on said underwear and socks to create JAVA!"

or

"java was a character in star wars"

(yes we all know is JABBA but who cares hahaha)

🤣
