I've always thought on the edge to be IoT type stuff. So running on embedded devices. But maybe that not the case?

Like any new term the (mis)usage broadens the meaning over time until it either it's widely known, it's unfashionable, or most likely; it becomes so broad as to be meaningless and hence it achieves buzzword apotheosis.

My old job title had "edge" in it, and I still don't know what it's supposed to mean, although "not cloud" is a good approximation.

Sounds like your job had a lot of velocity with lateral tragmorphicity in Q1, just in time for staff engineer optimization!

Nicely done. Here is ~$50 worth of stock.
