"Assembly" has been hijacked!
What gets me is that Microsoft writes another layer of abstraction that is a runtime environment (.Net framework) that runs in the OS runtime environment (User-mode Windows), that runs on top of the Windows Kernel which talks to the HAL, that finally then runs on the hardware...
... and they call it an Assembly! How dare they!
Now the word is used to mean two complete opposites, and you watch the younger generation turning up for work-experience with no clue on the real meaning of 'Assembly'.
Never mind. I can fight back. Every meeting with the coders, I get to laugh each time someone says ".Net assembly". When they ask, I say, "If you don't get it, then don't worry!".When you encounter speed humps, sound your horn in protest.Comment
