    As someone with an EE degree (though a sysadmin), this use of the term "transformer" is constantly confusing. :)

    (Also "cryto" for cryptocurrency rather than cryptography.)

        Should have been “energon” instead of “tokens”

      transformer is climbing up in the most-overloaded-terms category, jockeying for a spot somewhere among “service”, “template” and “zone”
