Everything Is Just An App Now

Everything Is Just An App Now
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?

Modern Computing Priorities

In 1973, NASA sent humans to the literal moon with just 4KB of RAM. Fast forward to 2019, and your beastly machine with 16GB RAM and maxed-out CPU is brought to its knees by... an Excel dialog box lurking in the background. Nothing captures modern software bloat quite like this perfect comparison. We've gone from accomplishing humanity's greatest feats with minimal resources to having our supercomputers paralyzed by spreadsheet popups. Progress?
