    unjerk: pretty bold to compare software to a wheel. it’s more so like some roughly rollable shape which is why some people think they can make it more rollable, and yes those people fail from time to time

      Yes, let’s not reinvent any wheels to save time and money. What? Why do you have to use three different screens from two different applications to get the information you need for one shipment invoice? Because we didn’t reinvent any wheels. You’re welcome.

        The wheel doesn’t need to be reinvented, meanwhile a certain wheel is pushing for the complete removal of adblocks in its extensions.

        Probably not fair to equate that piece of software as a wheel, or better yet, let’s just reinvent it with the Adblock.

      The wheel of the metaphor-of-thing-as-wheel exists and is widely understood, but apparently needed to be reinvented as a metaphor involving a roughly rollable shape?

      Challenge failed.
