Agreed. There is precedence for reclaiming abused terminology, like how 'isomorphic' javascript has become 'universal' javascript (though I'm not a big fan of that name either).

Either way, it's a confusing term for the uninitiated and sort of presumes that only the web-dev world exists (because as you say, serverless already has a meaningful definition in the computing world)




Much like "literally", I think it's too late to save it.
