# Just Werks
"Just werks" (for "just works" if that's not clear) is a phrase used by [noobs](noob.md) to justify using a piece of technology while completely neglecting any other deeper and/or long term consequences. A noob doesn't think about technology further than how it can immediately perform some task for him.

This phrase is widely used on [4chan](4chan.md)/g, it probably originated there.

- **Am I hurting better alternatives by not using them?** E.g. by using a proprietary social network gives one more user to it and one fewer to a potentially more ethical free social network.
- **Is there anything just plain better?** A normie will take the first thing that's handed to him and "just werks" without even checking if something better exists that would satisfy him better.
