Bachelors in Computer Science.... Never made the connection.
"Firmware" is a terrible name, it's exactly software.
The only common thing between software and firmware is the coding part. Everything else is different. Fault tolerance, memory management, MCU optimization, etc.

"Mediumware" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Chubware.
This reminds me of when, during the building and development of the Apollo program- electrical engineers were tasked with effectively creating the "software" of the guidance system, and when one of the lead developers told his wife "I'm working on the software for the rocket" She replied "We're not going to tell people that you're working in underpants."

I knew this but I'm pretty sure I just assumed that's what it meant somewhere along the way.
I've always thought about it as the way the software and hardware talk to each other.
It all makes sense now. Damn.
Oooh... Never thought of that...
