As far as I can tell, this "visual guide" is nothing more than:

Wow those diagrams are extremely well thought out and clear to understand. Saying they’re just blue boxes is a huge understatement. Visualising highly conceptual topics like numerical programming is not an easy skill, and the more the better.

Your comment is just a bunch of letters typed out as words in a sentence without any sort of insight and just providing a reductionist view.

It’s so much more than that. This is not what HN community is about.

3245 words should be more than enough for that :) My greatest concern about the text that it would be too much of it for something called "Visual Guide", so I tried hard to keep it to bare minimum.
