Technical Colloquial
# Technical / Colloquial
Use when you need technical accuracy but the voice should be a senior engineer talking to a peer, not a textbook.
## Prompt
Write this technical explanation as if a senior engineer is chatting with a colleague after a debugging session. It's precise but unpolished. Use 'we' for the team, crack one small, relevant joke, and say 'probably' at least once about a best practice.
