At least it's not made out of an English language construction which is actually just wrong.

  The english language has a bazillion "wrong" constructions. What is this, kindergarten? Serverless clearly has gotten a specific meaning in the industry, which means "without manually spinning up servers".

    > The english language has a bazillion "wrong" constructions. Sometimes I complain about some of those too. Personally, I'm looking forward to the next loop around, when the concept is rediscovered again. It will need a new name. Unfortunately, that's probably going to be 20 or 30 years.

    It's jargon used by part of the industry. It's not like the usual irregularities of natural language. There's no need to encourage its wider adoption.

    And this is how the English language has become what it is. If someone politely points out that the use of a word is incorrect, instead of thanking and correcting themselves, people just shrug and say: "it is what it is" and continue to spread the incorrect usage. I even wonder why bother with grammar in a language like this.
