      Man, I hate the word content.

    See also the client camera movement guide:

      This is ridiculous. There’s no way a client calls a dolly a “pan”.

      That’s obviously zooming.

    Everything is a file

      What about a process? File gone wild?

        I’d call that a file loaded to memory

    I also hate the way “algorithm” has taken over the public consciousness. You can find people unironically saying “I don’t want any algorithm in my social media feed”, which is a nonsensical statement.

      People are onto something though - there’s been a noticeable shift from social media just showing you your feed in a chronological manner to it showing you personally tailored content that shuffles on each refresh and aims to hook you into endless doomscrolling. I understand perfectly well what’s an algorithm, but good luck explaining to people that it’s not that specific thing.

      Depends how broad your definition of algorithm is. Is sort by upvotes an algorithm? I say no but sort by hot is.

      So it is possible by this definition to have a feed without any algorithm.

    I call everything a script. Makes the Java devs real mad. Makes the PM’s super confused.

      A million-line project spread over a hundred files

      It’s a script!

        sqlite is technically just one C source file, so that’s definitely a script.
