It’s interesting to see LEGO discussed here independently of the terminology and platforms I got used to thinking about it in terms of during my brief foray into online LEGO communities in the early 2000s. Being introduced to the sideways/alternative building options of “SNOT” (studs not on top) and “SNIR” (studs not in row) as specific new methodologies felt revolutionary, and the fact that they were encapsulated under such definitive terms maybe made them seem more like inventions...
