Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
I felt like I was alone in being frustrated at this trend. However I found a bit of relief to discover, through messing around in a Win98 virtual machine, that they were occasionally using the term "app" back then as well. Of course it wasn't as ubiquitous as it is now, but whatever.
Also I thought I'd never see the Xbox kid meme again. What an unexpected throwback!
$ sudo appt-get install app
chmod +x myApp.appImage
This is really, "what techs call it" and "what non-techs call it".
As a tech, I usually know what someone means when they "app".
It's "glitch" that drives me mad though. Glitch sounds like a ghost caused the error one tine only, versus some lazy coder.
To be fair i would consider a glitch to be closer to a ghost causing it than a lazy developer.
I consider a "bug" to be something caused by the code (bad error handling, bad logic, etc) and a "glitch" to be something more random or environmental
Yes! Agreed. But for some reason, the only word everyone uses these days is "glitch". And I don't know why, but that really fries my grits.

I very much hate the word app. That's probably my biggest boomer trait.
Can't slap em apps
I remember "killer app" being a phrase I regularly heard in the 90's.
