Dark Magician Software

code that is completely open sourced but is extremely complex and provides no documentation, making it incredibly hard for people to understand how it works and borderline impossible to improve or add further functionality to it
Engineer 1: "Hey, did you check that new pull request I put up?"
Engineer 2: "I didn't because I don't look at your repo. I can't understand half of that at a glance."
Engineer 1: "At a glance? You kids and your 'comments'... can't you just read the code?"
Enginner 2: "Yeah, like I'd spend two full nights reading your fucking dark magician software. I hope you get fired."

software fascism

software fascism describes the process of a piece of software actively engaging into pushing better alternatives out of the competition by creeping into spaces far outside its actual purpose and by making said spaces dependent on itself.
Eventually it leads to it being not replaceable by the better alternative and people are forever stuck with that garbage.
Sysadmin 1: Damn my servers are running like shit!
Sysadmin 2: Yea thats because you have let that garbage of systemd into your distro and now all of your applications depend on it due to software fascism and you are stuck with it forever.
Sysadmin 1: No one could have seen that coming.

Software 2.0

Software 2.0 is software based artificial intelligence and defined by weights in a large language model.

Andrej Karpathy, a prominent Al researcher and former senior director of Al at Tesla, coined the term
"Software 2.0"

Software 2.0 refers to a new paradigm in software development where traditional programming is replaced by machine learning models. Instead of writing explicit code, developers create and train neural networks that learn from data to perform tasks. This approach allows software to solve complex problems like image recognition, natural language processing, and more, by learning from examples rather than following predefined rules.
Most of the large language models we use aren’t compiled code. They are all software 2.0. The software that full self drives my Tesla is software 2.0.

PROXY (software)

PROXY is a licensed software product made by PROXY Networks. Besides being utterly stupid to name any software "proxy" (more widely known as being something completely different in IT networking), the product still looks like it's from Windows 95 and handles more or less to that capacity.

It's complete crap
Idiot help desk tech: My IT shop uses PROXY (software) for remote connections to manage our infrastructure.

Network tech: Wait, why are you using a network proxy for something you need to access remotely?

Every other IT professional: PROXY sucks, use something... literally ANYTHING else.
