Wouldn't it be good if whichever muppet came up with the term "serverless" thought it through a bit better, and realised the opening they were affording trolls. It's just a dumb, imprecise (or just flat ourt inaccurate) term. Rolls off the tongue better than SomeElsesServers though, I guess. Still. At least they weren't the person who thought "nonce" was a good word to use in technical jargon.

Perhaps they should have just called it "shared hosting 2.0"

I think it is because APlaceToRunMyCodeThatIsntOnAllTheTimeAndThatIDontHaveToMaintain didn't fit on the pamphlet.
