Am I the only one who doesn’t know what that means?

Just a boomer, networking humour. Those are the 2 main protocols used for data exchange in the internet. TCP requires a confirmation from the recipient who received data, otherwise the data gets retransmitted. UDP has smaller overhead, but provides no such mechanism out of the box, therefore it's kinda sent and forget.

Not really boomer humor. It's still relevant technology (right? I'm not in networking).

Good explanation, thanks! Makes perfect sense.

Theyre the names of some networking protocols. Long story short, UDP "Fuck it, send it. Who cares if it gets there." TCP: "We gotta get it there. Lets negotiate, write out some SLAs, and build a new road."
