Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

You left out “AI” you silly goose
LOL, 100%.
I've seen things like "lightweight", "robust", "scalable" just kind of loosely applied to everything as well. These kinds of things are the purr words. Then the snarl words are applied to things you are trying to denigrate - for example, make sure you label something you don't like "legacy" even if it's still actively maintained and used by most everyone and is actually battle-tested.
Even better if you can say that some Youtube influencer with X amount of followers likes it...I swear, this industry has always been a bit susceptible to the new and the shiny, but because so many people are worried about being considered a "dinosaur" even if they are still in their early 20s, the amount of critical thought given to some highly impactful engineering (and also business) decisions seems to amount to little more than "so and so likes it".
Don't get me wrong, there was a bit of this even in the 90s where a certain type of engineer would always be looking to what Gates thought or whatever. But those kinds of engineers were often kind of mocked and thought as rather unserious. I'm not so sure the engineers that just look to what FAANG is doing/saying are mocked enough these days.
