This seems like a very pedantic and harsh comment? I’d expect most people at HN to understand what “serverless” means, and it appears that tight integration with this architecture is the whole USP of this project, and as such I’d say the author made an excellent choice of putting it in the name: it makes it immediately clear what its key differentiator is.
These kinds of rants were popular five years ago when serverless was still new, nowadays it really doesn’t add any value and I fail to see what you’re trying to achieve here.
It’s just a term that stuck, as did many other terms, let’s just move on.
Do you also get angry that a firewall isn’t a literal wall of fire?
