On the topic of linguistics, I think "dive" isn't a verb here, but a noun ("a dive").

Yes, but that's also how the commenter used it:

> "Deep dive". When is a dive shallow? Isn't a dive implicitly deep?

You obviously have not worked a lot, this term is everywhere from my experience, ubiquitous even. Terms like this one, “alignment”, “low hanging fruit”, all not super accurate but established industry terms.

It's very common, and increasingly common because of AI, since it was trained on a lot of meaningless business speak, but that doesn't mean it's not lazy and thoughtless, or particularly lazy and thoughtless now it's mindlessly pasted.

True, but I was commenting on the fact the commenter specifically called it a verb, while using it as a noun. I can't quote it now because the comment seems to have disappeared.

Ah right, missed that. The comment isn’t showing for you because you probably don’t have „show dead“ enabled in your profile settings. If you enable that, you’ll still see it.

Oh I didn't know that was a thing! I see it now. Thanks for pointing that out.
