Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: I described a project as ongoing and the client wanted a clearer timeline — it felt vague to them.
Speaker B: Ongoing signals continuity but not direction. Pair it with a next step for clarity.
Speaker A: Difference between ongoing and continuous?
Speaker B: Continuous implies no interruption. Ongoing can have pauses and phases — more episodic, less unbroken.
Speaker A: And persistent?
Speaker B: Persistent implies something that won't go away despite efforts — a hint of frustration ongoing doesn't carry.
Speaker A: Any jargon traps?
Speaker B: Avoid ongoing situation — it's padding. Use the investigation continues or the situation is developing instead.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's use 'ongoing' in AI prompts for status tracking, long-running processes, and continuous monitoring.
Speaker A: Ongoing as a status value — still active, no scheduled end, needs continuous visibility.
Speaker B: Five prompts.
Speaker A: So 'ongoing' in a prompt means: build for continuity — active states need visibility, tracking, and escalation.
