But my wheel will be much better. I will start from the center with a very simple skeleton and build on top of it as needed. It will be very modular, elegant and easy to understand. It will be my masterpiece.
Wheels need manuals
"But is it a just a wheel if we add cloud and AI features to it? Think of all the leveraging of paradigm shifts!" . The trap explodes taking everyone out; even Steve in accounting who had nothing to do with this and wasn't even in the same building.
Reinventing the wheel leads to a profound understanding of why wheels are round.
That's what documentation is for.
That involves knowing how to read
Well, it would have been if people updated it when making changes; now it's just all an incorrect snapshot of an older version of wheel that no longer reflects reality.
Documentation is written exclusively for people with PhDs.
but is it written in 6510 assembly, with cool graphics and catchy music with fast arpeggios?
How is it licensed, Jigsaw? Eh? What distro is it from? Is that a fucking Snap wheel?
Snap
Ok, this set me off.
What I hadn't anticipated in my 20 years away from Linux was not only had teams of unpaid volunteers been beavering away behind the scenes to make everything work better, other much more enthusiastic teams have been thinking up new and exciting ways to break it again.
rm rf saw
sudo systemctl stop sawtrapd
And don't forget
systemctl disable sawtrapd
so it won't restart again.
sysyemctl disable --now sawtrapd to do both in one command.
This is a poorly designed horror trap. Here, let me help you!
Is the wheel FOSS? No? Guess I have to then.
"I WOULDN'T BE REINVENTING IT IF THEY DIDN'T FORCE ~~systemd~~ AXLES ON EVERY WHEEL!!!"
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as wheel, is in fact, GNU/Wheel, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus wheel.
The Wheel weaves as The Wheel wills.
Wtf did not expect a Wheel of Time reference lmao
Use the -w flag and the wheel will weave as you will.
The wheel has had a number of innovations over the years. The earliest wheels were flat disks of wood that were heavy and slow turning. The Romans invented spokes and metal rims which made them faster, more durable, and gave them more traction. Questions we need answered: What is this wheel in particular designed to do? Is there any way we could make it work more efficiently at its task? Do we value performance over reliability, or vice versa? Etc. Etc.
I think we need to take a bit of a step back and consider what kind of shed we might use to store this wheel...
To answer that, we'll need to do a deep dive into foundation technology (to determine if it is lacking and needs some improvements) (because we don't want our wheelshed to sink).
Sounds like proprietary blobs.

It works fine. It's a perfectly good wheel.
Hey where is Underwaterbob?
He's trapped in that Jigsaw room.
The door is unlocked though?
Yeah, but there is a wheel in there and UWB won't leave until he figures out if there is a way to improve it.
Has any one asked him to?
No
Will he get paid to improve it?
No
What does the wheel do?
You roll it out of the way so you can exit the room.
Will he get paid to improve it?
No
Well, now I'm clearly going to have to find a way to monetize the wheel as well.
Put a lock on the wheel and charge people $0.99 to temporarily unlock it.
Evil. I like it! Maybe some mandatory ad viewing somehow shoehorned into the unlocking process as well.
