Mind Blown

Definitions

1. An expression of strong surprise, amazement, or sudden comprehension. In engineering slang, it appears both when something is impressively elegant and when the true root cause is absurd enough to reset your mental model.

   In plain English: A way to express being extremely surprised or amazed.

   Example: "The team was collectively mind blown when the outage root cause turned out to be one stale DNS entry surviving in a supposedly deprecated failover path."
