👉 Input engineering is like the secret sauce that turns a bland pizza into a gourmet culinary masterpiece – or in this case, a data dump. It's the art of crafting the perfect pathways for data to flow into a computer system, ensuring it doesn't get stuck in a traffic jam of confusion or worse, an input overload that'll make your cat do a double-take.
Example sentence: "The input engineering team decided to add a 'whack-a-mole' defense against spam, setting up a labyrinth of filters and firewalls to keep the bad data 'bouncing' off before it can 'eat' our precious information."
