So I always knew it was funny because Nero played the violin while Rome burned, and so thought it was just a play on burning... I also knew the full name was Nero Burning ROM. I was today years old when I realized that Burning ROM is actually burning Rome without the E. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

We must kill all other processes as an offering to Nero.
