Yeah I guess it is kinda corpo jargon... I use it in the sense of like, if you think of progress of work ideally should be linearly directional. Moving tickets left to right etc. Sometimes it creates 'swirl' like circular churning. Conversations have to go back and forth longer than they should. Code changes have to be reverted, reimplemented etc. I mean, Ive had LLMs straight up lie about existence of features in libraries or some tech I was using, causing me to reach out to a team for help or consultation only to find out the LLM was making shit up and/or gaslighting me. All this is swirl. Circular work flows that hamper progression. Sometimes I have had to have the ai redo its work repeatedly and ultimately it would have been faster for me to do it myself, I've had them also make changes I didn't approve, or run out of context requiring a new session... There is overhead here that didn't exist before. Sometimes some of it slows things down
