I appreciate the joke, but isn't the phrase already based on the crucifixion?

Like if someone tried to make a pun about software bugs in the context of an old IBM computer having a literal insect eating a wire or something (at least I think that's the origin of the term)

I think “die on that hill” is a war reference. Like Hamburger Hill or Little Round Top.

Yeah, the implication is definitely that you're defending a hill from being taken in assault.

The software bug origin story is that Grace Hopper found a moth stuck in a computer relay. However, the term predates that event, which is why Hopper was so tickled by finding the “first actual“ bug.
