You just need a butt-to-cloud extension to counter that.

So did Wired:
> In 2016, Wired magazine made a similar mistake and published an article in which Donald Trump's name was replaced with "someone with tiny hands".

#19This 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".
