Let me rant a bit more about this.
This is Crabs In a Bucket: The Comic. People share this every time someone tries to make something good. “Oh, that will obviously fail, because other people have made shitty versions of that thing. I am very wise.”
What is the point? Everything that is good was inspired by past things. The first version of the thing is never the good version. “Oh, mobile phones will never take off, because we’ve tried mobile phones and no one likes them.”
I have very little patience for status quo defenders. Is the software good, or isn’t it? If it’s not good, why aren’t we making something better? “Oh, people have tried to make better things, and it always fails.” Nonsense. The entire field of software is like 80 years old. Basically nothing has been tried. Why should we discourage people from innovating? From trying things they’re excited about? What does that achieve on literally any level?
If someone you know is excited about building something new, and you share this comic to shut them down, shame on you. You are actively preventing people from making better software.
If you use USB-C then you are not allowed to share this comic
