I mean surely it could at least be optimized somewhat...

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It probably could, and don't call me Shirley.

As if I don't have a stash of previously reinvented wheels to choose from in my personal code. Buuuut, who can resist reinventing the wheel for the 25th time?

There is a whole extra spoke in the wheel. Look, I'm not gonna reinvent it... I just... need to... adjust some values... and there! Look, its fine.

Wait.

Why is it wobbling like that?

Hold on, I just need to get rid of this other spoke...

All those wheels made without any unit tests. What was humanity thinking?

Hmmm what if this wheel could roll itself? If we use the power of 7 suns we could put ~~AI~~ cocaine in it.

Hmm... How many significant figures of pi was it made to?

Astronomer: “Eh, I guess pi is close enough to 10. Let’s just use that.”

Joke's on you, the wheel was reinvented plenty of times.

"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.

Have you ever used wheel-el in emacs? It really sets a high bar.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago

So, your plan is to kill people of starvation and sleep deprivation?

Sure wheel 7 and wheel 10 were Ok, but wheel 11 is crap.

[–] readsettlers_org@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But it doesn't conform to every cars specifications! A new standard must be invented!
