Fork Children, Kill Processes

Fork Children, Kill Processes

The classic Unix terminology strikes again! In operating systems like Linux, fork() creates a child process and kill terminates a process. So when programmers casually discuss "killing child processes" or "forking children," it sounds completely normal to us but absolutely horrifying to everyone else. It's the perfect example of why programmers should never discuss work at dinner parties unless they want to end up on some kind of watchlist.
