agreed. it's not useful for me as a more "tech experienced" person and having taught many people just breaking into the industry i don't think it would help them much, either.

people are often helped by metaphor (e.g. "a port is like a mail slot in a huge mailroom...") but i feel like this "discovery fiction" thing is like an inverse version of that... it allows your brain to be creative when thinking through the topic but just focused on the wrong part of the explanation.
