I clicked because I wanted to know what sort of jerk they were talking about. The first to come to mind was indeed Jerk (Physics). I read the article, I found what I set out to find and more.

I'm curious to learn how you define clickbait. Did I get baited?

By the way, physics/everything in games works in discrete steps of time. Accordingly, acceleration is constant[0] and so it follows that in game(dev), infinite[1] jerk is a constant[2].

[0] acceleration is unchanging during each physics step

[1] changes in constant acceleration occur instantaneously, "between" steps so we're dividing by zero (seconds) and I get to make the rules

[2] unavoidable; as in "the bickering was a constant"

Pretty much like this:
