    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.

    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.

      No, no, let’s instead reduce friction by making it entirely out of steel, and lay down an even, steel surface for it to roll on, maybe in the shape of tracks

    The level of smugness emanating from this meme is overwhelming, techbro levels of bad.

    The wheel was never perfectly good actually, it was actually incredibly bad and needs to be fixed.

      It’s interesting. On the other major PH community, a good laugh was had at everyone’s own expense. On this one, people are butthurt.

    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.
