      This already happens in enterprise code bases with dummies running the show and juniors coding. Every primitive is actually a god object that can work at any level of the software stack.

    I mean, those words are still used by people in technical fields. It’s the laypeople who use “app” for everything, and even if “app” didn’t exist, they would still pick one generic word like “software” or “program” for everything since they don’t know the difference between any of the words on the left side.
