Quick Fix

Definitions

1. A fix optimized for speed rather than elegance or completeness. In engineering slang, quick fixes are often necessary, but the phrase carries an implicit reminder that deeper work may still be needed.

   In plain English: A fast fix meant to address the immediate problem quickly.

   Example: "The quick fix stopped duplicate emails, and the team immediately opened a follow-up because the underlying idempotency problem still existed underneath it."
