This takes the term "backend engineer" to a whole new level

In a job a long time ago, I was on a conference call in which a sales guy kept repeatedly emphasizing the value and importance of their "robust, scalable backend".

Eventually, we had to mute the phone, people around the table couldn't keep from laughing.

Our elastic backend effortlessly scales with ingestion!
Now THAT's an enterprise solution!
OMG! I'm in my early 40s and I've never thought about 'backend' in this way, until now. And, I can't undo it :-).

Now, I'm thinking - do I have lack of humor or imagination? :-)

You have maturity. :)
Sometimes, I think I also don’t have that. Thank you for saying that and boosting my morale. You are the best.
Thank you for bringing joy to my evening. This was hilarious
When you take this joke super far and make a coffee enema website for your boss.

Doesn’t this mean a plastic surgeon working on rears?
