My pet peeve is "monolithic". It implies that anything without microservices is Flintstones technology, encouraging clueless managers to bloat up software with microservices to get things like "separation of concerns". It's often separation of productivity from reality. A lot of IT press is "fake news".
The IT press is unnerving. It implies a whole ecosystem: managers making technical decisions they don't begin to understand, and predators grooming the managers' egos in order to pounce on their budgets.
I get that the right person to lead a large organization might not be technical, but you'd hope they'd delegate those calls to someone who is. Not try to figure it out personally based on what they read in a trade publication for "visionary thought leaders."
