       Seriously tho, this is a pet peeve of mine.Lots of software industry people use the term #tech or #technology to refer to pieces of software, specific programming languages, frameworks or libraries for those languages, communication protocols etc.To me, it sounds like this:I'm a line cook and my favorite technologies are Viking 12" pan and Shun 8" Nakiri.Oh, I'm a writer and my go to technology is English. A close second is The Oxford English Dictionary!I don't know. Specific products don't fit the definition of technology for me.In my head, technology is a set of broad categories. The entirety of Programming languages or the concept of network protocols are technologies, specific products under these labels, aren't.Are there any #ActuallyAutistic people who feel like this? Because I'm quite sure this pet peeve is a direct result of the way my brain works.@actuallyautistic
