I can't speak for anybody else, but you highlighted the origin of my general annoyance. Applying cross-domain concepts to improve your local domain is awesome.

I can't speak for anybody else, but you highlighted the origin of my general annoyance. Applying cross-domain concepts to improve your local domain is awesome. Applying somebody else's invention from a different domain to your local domain and then acting like you invented a new thing is... annoying. If various forms of "reinvention" didn't seem to come with a Twitter-cult and snazzy *.io website screaming, "Look at me! Look at me! See how awesome this totally new thing is that I'm pretending to have pioneered!" There'd be no inclination for anybody to respond with, "Um. You didn't invent anything. Please calm down." If you throw yourself a parade everyday celebrating the genius of having figured out how to wake-up in the morning to attend your parade, then inevitably somebody is going to rain on it.
