For some reason on this particular article I found it amusing to realize several times that a given concept they were talking about was something I'm familiar with, but it had been translated first from "nerd language" into "layman." Pretty common practice for a general audience, so I'm not sure why it stood out this time. Examples: bytecode, assembly language, frameworks, machine learning. Counterexample: Libraries, where they used the actual word, denying me the silly little pleasure of going "Oh you mean libraries."
