   In its infinite wisdom, Big Tech has become a master of linguistic obfuscation. They wield buzzwords like weapons, expertly blurring the lines between related concepts. Suddenly, everyone's an "AI expert" because they've used Apple's "Intelligence" (AI), and GitHub becomes synonymous with Git itself, confusing newbies. It's all fun and games until your grandpa or mom asks you to explain the difference between "the GitHub" and "the Git."

     @nixCraft easy Git is an engine, GitHub is a car using this engine.

     Explain things with cars always works for elderly people is my experience.

     I recently had to explain to someone how Apple Intelligence (AI) completely differs from working on developing AI. They didn't understand what mathematics has to do with creating real AI apps without using APIs from scratch. We live in a time when people working in IT don't grasp these basic concepts. They just Google it to get work done. Kids turn to TikTok to understand stuff. I would like to see someone write a 2-page-long paper about dark matters or theoretical physics from a TikTok video.

     @nixCraft When we no longer understand technology we will become it's ultimate victims as well as victims of own complacency, laziness and arrogance.

     I've seen good engineers lose their jobs because they relied on Google search rather than simply learning man pages.

     Study, learn, flourish.
