I've seen this so many more times from Microsoft than anywhere else. They even tried reinventing a regex syntax just for their IDE!

pff you call that working fine?

Actually! Wheel11 is really outdated, which is why im building wheeland, which is more secure and <...>

This again? Insert "wheel was reinvented plenty of times" comment here.

lemme yt-dlp this message so I can listen to it in the terminal for less distraction

the wheel doesnt need to be reinvented, but it does need to be broken down into its components so they can be used with other things that may need them.

the spoke, the circle, the tread, and the spoke hub should be broken up before accepting the PR.

Plot twist: once you accept the wheel without reinventing it, you have to pay a monthly wheel subscription.

I'm betting a certain highschool vibecoder will generate a million LOC before even trying the door.

I am fan of reinventing stuff that was frankensteined to kinda work in a modern world..

I don’t like hacky solutions.

Hope systemd is next.

Resisting the urge to reinvent the wheel to run myself over with it

You know, Jigsaw is right: this is a perfectly good wheel. We don’t have to reinvent it, but we can wrap it in something to make it more intuitive.

Yes, it's fine and it works perfectly well, but it can be better.

Let's refactor it into metal and rubber instead of wood, put an air-filled tube between the inner and outer layers. That will result in dramatically less wear and tear while also smoothing out bumps, thus making for a more comfortable ride.

This analogy doesn't really work because there are thousands of different wheels that all spin on an axis but are used for many different things. If the wheel was never reinvented or improved upon we wouldn't have automatic transmissions, rocket engine turbo pumps, gyroscopes, etc.

You leave it alone and wait so that management doesn’t expect tasks to be completed quickly.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as a wheel, is in fact, a cart and a wheel, or as I've recently taken to calling it, a cart plus a wheel. A wheel is not a vehicle unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning cart system made useful by the cart's frame, steering components, and vital structural elements comprising a full vehicle as defined by cart-dynamics. Many people move things every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of the cart which is widely used today is often called "a wheel," and many of its users are not aware that it is basically a cart, developed by the Cart Project. There really is a wheel, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. A wheel is a part: the circular component in the system that allows the cart to roll across the ground. A wheel is an essential part of a cart, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete cart. A wheel is normally used in combination with the Cart System: the whole system is basically a cart with a wheel added, or a cart and a wheel.

Sorry guys. I let a llm rewrite it, I was too lazy.

The true one:

Here's a command line interface with vim open. Close it to disable the trap.

The funny part is that all the commenters up till now failed to leave the room :D

I tried to install the wheel into my project and now its flat. Can someone check my code on stack overflow? I dont know how to post my error logs.

Definitely doesn’t apply for me: gh repo clone SomeOtherDevsProject/ExitRoom

I have been teaching myself rust. Rewriting this wheel in rust will be a good exercise for me...

Now that I am 95% done, I have lost interest in this project and have started another playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3. Maybe I will come back and finish it at some point.
