It'll be easier to stop when the posts stop insisting on coining "new kinds of X".

The only innovation I see here is an unusual attention to constructing visual representations and using them as identifiers in code. Which is cool! But insisting it's new demeans the work of thousands of engineers who do similar and prerequisite work, and who make an effort to situate their work in literature and indusrtry rather than insisting on some kind of exceptionalism.

Arrogance should be called out in every instance, because it's not actually a route to greatest impact.
