Apps Memes

Remember when we had distinct, meaningful names for different software components? Now everything's just an "app" – because why bother with precision when we can dumb it all down! The marketing department won that battle years ago, and now we're stuck in this linguistic wasteland where your critical enterprise daemon and that stupid bird-flinging game on your phone share the same technical classification. Progress, folks! Next up: we'll just call all code "stuff that makes computer go brrr."

The evolution of tech vocabulary is brutal! Back in the day, we had precise terminology like "application," "program," and "operating system." Now? Everything's just an "app." Need to compile code? There's an app for that. Running a critical system daemon? Just another app, bro. Even your meticulously crafted shell scripts? Yep, apps. It's like watching your carefully organized toolbox get dumped into a single drawer labeled "stuff that does things." The smug face in the corner is every marketing department that successfully convinced us precision is overrated. Who needs technical accuracy when you can have simplicity?
