zen
vt. To figure out something by meditation or by a sudden flash of
enlightenment. Originally applied to bugs, but occasionally applied to
problems of life in general. How'd you figure out the buffer allocation
problem? Oh, I zenned it. Contrast grok , which connotes a time-extended
version of zenning a system. Compare hack mode. See also guru.
