ok I've looked up what it really means and understand the true spiciness of this tweet. But it means two almost opposite things so it's its own fault really

Oof. People that use the word are too pedantic for that degree of misuse, I.m.e. Is it possible you’ve just been misunderstanding your friends?

These two? 1. of or involving right angles; at right angles. 2. (of variates) statistically independent. [STATISTICS] These feel completely the same to me, but probably because when I look at the 2nd I immediately see a 2D graph, whose dimensions are *orthogonal* in both senses.

i've been upset since i read its usage here. the best i figure it means "it starts at the same point, but goes in a totally independent direction such that they will never overlap again", as distinct from parallel, which never had anything in common. https://12factor.net/config

but idk. most people are probably misusing it and have other intentions when using it.
