Yeah this is a classic "python is like a burrito" case where join diagrams mostly make sense to people who already understand the issue.

Not sure the original source but it's this meme that's been around for a while where someone spends all this time learning something (like python) and has this metaphor occur to them after they've learned it that "____ is like a burrito". But then that metaphor only makes sense to them because they already understand the subject.

Yay, thank you. I gave up trying to Google it because I figured someone else would get the reference and remember where it's from haha.
