agree, but in the software world, build is a process or function and
'doing a build' is what you actually do to produce a program, sometimes
the command is even called 'build'.
Ahh, come on folks, we're hams. International Q signals have a very
distinct definition, a question, and an answer. We, being hams and
relegated to 200 meters and down, have "nounified" and "verbified" them.
"Man, the QRN was awful tonight." "Geez, I'm sorry to have QRM'd
you," "What is his QRG?", and many others. We all know what they mean.
QRX? means "Will you call me again?." We of course use it as "Stand by,
I'm thinking." Maybe for a moment, maybe for quite awhile if you think
slow like I do.
"Build" is a noun, if you're in the software world, it's a verb if you
build with steel, concrete, and wood.
But what do I know, I'm a math major
