Someone finally said what we've all been thinking. Software engineering terminology reads like it was designed by people who desperately needed to touch grass. Frontend, backend, mounting, pulling, pushing, penetration testing... whoever named these things either had zero self-awareness or maximum self-awareness and just didn't care.

The best part? These are all 100% legitimate technical terms we use in daily standups with straight faces. "Yeah, I'm working on penetration testing the backend after we finish mounting and pushing to production." HR is just sitting there pretending everything is normal.

Bonus points for the fact that "mounting" is a real thing in both frontend (React component lifecycle) and systems programming (mounting filesystems). We really committed to the bit.
