That sounds a bit like Burst Tries / burstsort.

The urge to aggressively, rapidly grow.

Bombasticitinessation.

Could you explain what you're saying? It feels very aggressive.

Just to let you know, the word you meant to use is “ravaging.” It’s almost an antonym to “ravishing.”

I've been looking for a way to describe the way some people escalate. Nonlinear is just about the perfect term. Thanks!

Keyword: pursuing.

Perhaps "hissing out" more than "bursting".

Actually, its called highlight.

Sort of the opposite of Breakout.

3) can just be rephrased to mean continuous novelty-seeking or stimulation chasing. The way it was worded in the post does seem a little dramatic.

digi_owl | karma 9592 | avg karma 1.33 · | 2016-12-17 20:48:04+00:00

That is jumping from one extreme to another.

wildgift | karma 357 | avg karma 1.14 · | 2013-08-28 05:27:51+00:00

That seems very different. That's more like exciting, risky behavior mixed in with a deathwish.

Sorry to interrupt... I've just realised that it isn't breathlessly approving. A better example of breathless approval would be the above comment.

Is this what some people like to call "killing it"?

andraganescu | karma 48 | avg karma 0.48 · | 2017-02-13 12:28:10

yes that's the word: disengaging :)

nelsonenzo | karma 215 | avg karma 1.79 · | 2023-04-09 20:47:17

Yeah, it's called the 'embrace' phase.

LoganDark | karma 2715 | avg karma 1.04 · | 2023-09-19 06:06:10

The article includes "-fhardening" as well. I agree that it's most likely to be -fhardened though.

Ah man, I've been and done a [we need a name for this as mentioned by comment above]

edit: its a misjudgement about the stagnation of technology. How about "mistagnatechment"?

Ah man, I've been and done a mistagnatechment!
