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" โ€“ 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."

What ChatGPT Thinks A Brain Looks Like

What ChatGPT Thinks A Brain Looks Like
Ah yes, the anatomically accurate ChatGPT brain - a couple of smooth pink blobs with absolutely zero wrinkles. Just hover over those non-existent brain areas for more non-existent information. Turns out all those billions of parameters are stored in what appears to be a 3D render someone made during their first Blender tutorial. Neural networks? More like neural balloons.

Ascii Stupid Question, Get A Stupid Ansi
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?

Software Terminology: It's All Just Apps Now

Software Terminology: It's All Just Apps Now
Oh. My. GOD. Remember when we actually had DIFFERENT WORDS for things?! The absolute HORROR of today's tech world where literally EVERYTHING is just an "app" now! ๐Ÿ™„ We've gone from a rich vocabulary of technical terms like "operating system," "daemon," and "compiler" to just... "app." THAT'S IT. That's all we get! The entire computing universe has been reduced to a single three-letter word while some turtleneck-wearing executive laughs maniacally at how they've destroyed our linguistic diversity! Next thing you know, we'll just grunt and point at screens. Why use many word when few word do trick?

Software Terminology: It's All Just Apps Now

Software Terminology: It's All Just Apps Now
Remember when we had specific terminology for different software components? Now marketing departments have decided everything is just an "app." Your compiler? App. Your operating system? App. That daemon running critical background processes? You guessed itโ€”app. Next time someone asks what I do for a living, I'm just going to say "I make apps" and save us all 20 minutes of technical explanation that would've been ignored anyway.

The App-ocalypse Is Upon Us
OH. MY. GOD. Microsoft has reached peak simplification nirvana! ๐Ÿ™„ Why use descriptive, specific terms when you can just call LITERALLY EVERYTHING an "app"?! Remote Desktop? Too specific! Operating system? Too technical! Daemon? Too scary-sounding! Just slap "app" on it and call it a day! The absolute TRAGEDY of trying to Google "Windows App not connecting" and getting 8 million results about the Weather app! It's like Microsoft is DELIBERATELY trying to make troubleshooting an Olympic sport! Next up: they'll rename their entire company to "Thing" and their logo to a generic square. PERFECTION! ๐Ÿ’
