Look for essays on context. (use cases & post-mortem analysis) The business world much better at this than non-business world largely because need to know can one still make $$$ at it. Note: NASA vs. SpaceX approaches / trade offs to this!
Is knowing how to make better code going to be helpful if using legacy colbal program in a VM in order to use modern web interface? aka How many different contexts are in aforemention situation.
Why did apple succeed commerically where Xerox with same idea, did not.
When/why did Kodac employee concept of digital camera (circa 1970's) not get picked up by Kodac?
Datarace / Intel and the history of the 4044.
Does anyone associate Motorolla with washingmachines & driers anymore?

Usually, if a graph is rendered server side (dynamically generated);
the client sees/gets just the result (image file of generated graph).
There are plenty of domain specific languages that are dedicated to generating
graphs. aka once genrated, the web page run on client side just uses standard
html line to fetch the image. examples: R, python, perl. The languages can be
used to directly embedded the results in html/css or let the web server wrap the
results in html/css.

monte python suggestions (<unicode char for tongue in cheek>):
Relevant single unicode card icon for card strings would be bit more themed at risk of being non-utf8 compliant.

At what abstraction level is the "data sharding" being done at? e.g. firmware of hard disk, file system/memory abstractsion, OS handling file/memor abstractions, application making it's own file/memory abstractions on top of OS, appliation using portable/hardware neutral data format with application going through OS for read/writes.
"Why is it ...." -> File systems/memory systems are "coorinate spaces", usually accessed through OS abstractions and not directly handled by an application. Exceptions: database systems
Creating a coordinate space for storage/saving at application level is equivalent to implimenting a memory allocation scheme (aka function of OS, not an application)
Per scatternet link example, the "memory/storage area" for a given shard, may or maynot reside on same local machine. Application requesting "memory/storage" would not know where the "memory/storage" resides aka locally or remotely.
"What am I..." -> In the context of this discussion, similar to distributed database system
"Excerpt - ...." -> Sounds like a trie data structure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie )
