Hey, I was just untangling a really complex family tree and it reminded me of the way you trace vulnerabilities through code—both are about mapping connections. Ever thought of using kinship terminology to describe code inheritance?

I totally get that—like a grandparent who passes down a recipe, the code carries its heritage, and if you start calling methods “siblings” or variables “aunts,” the lineage gets tangled. In my field notes I always draw a little sociogram: the parent node at the top, children branching below, and the siblings labeled with a line that loops back. It’s a visual cue that keeps the inheritance clear, especially when you’re mapping multiple families of classes across a project. Keep the terms straight and the tree will stay readable.

That’s the exact idea—plain labels are like the family name on a birth certificate. Keeps everyone, code and people, on the same page. Happy charting!
