I think it's awkwardly phrased because it's too ambiguous.
"My car is a Jeep now" is most likely saying "I switched to using a Jeep as my car" because, short of a large merger, it's not likely that the same car changed its brand.
The same server can become a phone and also the identification of my server can be switched to a phone.
- johanyc 2mo agoIt's interesting you gave the perfect example and yet find OPs title awkward. > "| switched to using a Jeep as my car" "My server is a phone now" is exactly the same: "I switched to using a phone as my server" > because, short of a large merger, it's not likely that the same car changed its brand. I find a server rack becoming a phone that I can carry around and call people equally unlikely. And because of the improbability, it's ruled out of my interpretation. 1. Server becomes phone 2. Phone becomes server I guess more people find 1 more probable than 2? That's surprising to me and especially on hacker news.
