Dima and Slava follow up on the conversation they started in episode 47 and Dima tries to articulate more precisely what he means by people not being specific enough and gives example of common pitfalls of obscure communication.

• Theme corner: Dima's year of next
• Example 1: "System X is broken"
• Clear call to action is very helpful
• High context and low context situations and personalities
• Example 2: "Uber for X"
• Metaphors can be useful, but must not be the only means of describing an idea
• Effectiveness of metaphors depends a lot on pre-existing context
• Example 3: "System will to be reliable"
