Back to main discussion

It’s become somewhat of a trend over the last several months for new projects to describe themselves as ‘modern’. Not only is this not a helpful descriptor (*What is ‘modern’? Is the design modern? The codebase?*), but a good portion of the time it’s simply not true.

I keep seeing ‘blazing/blazingly fast’ everywhere too, with a rocket or such emoji

My favorite is ‘fast and lightweight’ followed by ‘RAM required >500MB’ for a some kind of basic server.
