If you look at the definitions on Urban Dictionary[1], the ones from 2020/2021 are in the same vein as what you've described and what Wikipedia says, but more recent 2024/2025 definitions generalise the concept and lose the "negative news" element.
Always fascinating how language evolves and how quickly the meaning of words can change.

Thanks for building it and thanks for sharing.
> As a [type of tech person], [product] is completely unnecessary as you can easily build a similar system yourself by simply combining [tool A] with [tool B] and [tool C]. It's so simple!
I'm not disagreeing with your point, but it misses the point that often the benefit of using a particular product is that you don't have to build it yourself, not to mention the other benefits you could get from using the exact same system as somebody else (e.g. sharing Postman collections).
