It reminds me a conversation I had with a friend that recently started programming, through javascript and various online tutorial. He introduced me to "PM" for node, to spawn several processes of the same node program. I asked him "And is there shared memory between them ?" He said "What ? What do you mean ?" I insisted to ask with different wording, and he ended up saying "Oh, you mean 'state' ? Nah there is nothing shared". So he doesn't know about the fundamentals of what's memory, processes etc. and uses this nebulous "state" word that could frankly mean anything. But hey, he actually has a better salary than me now. So that's fair, why bother learning fundamentals if it doesn't pay more ? Why go through this struggle ? You could argue "innovation", but this is way harder to innovate now than before
