Metaphors in the workplace

In the podcast episode, the speaker discusses how metaphors are commonly used in the workplace, particularly in the tech industry. For example, the metaphor of 'high-level' is often used in a surface-level or abstract explanation of a system or process, related to programming languages. Another metaphor is 'bandwidth', which refers to a person's ability to handle multiple tasks, derived from the computer networking term. The speaker encourages conlang creators to think about the technologies and work environments in their conlang worlds and how they can influence the terminology and metaphors used.
