Summary

In a humorous take on the evolution of tech terminology, the text discusses a playful middleware concept called "Edge-to-Butt," inspired by a previous Chrome extension that replaced the term "cloud" with "butt" to mock the overuse of buzzwords. The author expresses a satirical nostalgia and parallels this to the current tech industry's fascination with "the edge," proposing a similar replacement to inject humor into Convex projects. The text details a JavaScript function that recursively finds and replaces occurrences of "edge" with "butt" in a manner that preserves case, aiming to both poke fun at and manage the hype surrounding "edge computing." The idea is presented as a light-hearted enhancement for Convex, a backend platform, to integrate this playful transformation into its query functions, showcasing the author's whimsical perspective on tech jargon while emphasizing Convex's capabilities in building scalable full-stack AI projects.
