Ah, yes, the age-old wisdom of 'reinventing the wheel' – because who needs when you can churn out yet another "toy" software project instead of doing something remotely useful? πŸš€πŸ› οΈ Channel your inner and create your own buggy, half-baked applications, because reading books and using existing frameworks is clearly for those who prefer working solutions. πŸ“šπŸ™„

Ah, the classic tale of someone reinventing the wheel with C++/CUDA and calling it "innovation." πŸ™„ Because clearly, what the machine learning world really needed was yet another tensor library to confuse everyone, right? πŸ€” But hey, at least it's on , because that's where all the forgotten projects go to die. πŸ’€

πŸ”₯ In the grand tradition of reinventing the wheel, our hero proudly hosts a server at home only to discover his ISP doesn't give out static IPs. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ So, for the low, low price of $35 a month, he gets to play hide and seek with his own server on the internet. πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈπŸŽ‰

Someone decided to reinvent the wheel by a from scratch. πŸ™„ Because, clearly, there aren't enough of those already, and what the internet really needs is yet another way to download Linux ISOs. πŸš€

Ah, yes, because what developer doesn't have 30 minutes to spare building something from scratch that a gem already does perfectly? πŸ˜… Bravo, Remi, for heroically bypassing compatibility issues with the age-old tradition of reinventing the wheel. πŸš€βœ¨

πŸŽ‰ Ah, the dream of every tech enthusiast: spending their weekend meticulously crafting a CUPS printer driver in just 100 lines of Python πŸ–¨οΈπŸ.

Ah, the timeless allure of reinventing the wheel πŸ”„, now with extra parentheses for added confusion (and style!). Apparently, the future of job runners is writing the same tutorial every decade πŸ•°οΈ, because progress is an illusion and is our Groundhog Day. πŸš€

Ah, yes, the ancient wisdom of "smaller teams" and "more frequent releases" πŸ§“β€”because who needs AI assistants when you can dazzle with the radical concept of "getting work done"? πŸ™„ It's like watching a TED talk on reinventing the wheel, but less exciting. πŸš€

Well, got a basic help handling. The abstraction feels just a tad rough but it may be okay? Mostly, I don't want to require someone to always add --help to the commands.

> ./CliHostingWithAbstractionsOnly
info: CliHostingWithAbstractionsOnly.ExampleRootCommand[0] I'm running! False
info: CliHostingWithAbstractionsOnly.MyService[0] Doing something

> ./CliHostingWithAbstractionsOnly --help
I need help! 1

> ./CliHostingWithAbstractionsOnly --bob
I need help! 1
fail: CliHostingWithAbstractionsOnly.ExampleRootCommand[0] Unknown argument: --bob

I might consider implementing global arguments, but I'm leaning away from that. Instead, I will probably implement common argument sets that can be injected via DI instead.

But, not bad coding for an hour?

πŸŽ‰ Oh, look! Another shell nobody asked for, written in Rust because why not reinvent the wheel with more RAM and CPU cycles? πŸ™„ Keep dreaming that this will make you a tech hero while your shell scripts barely survive the POSIX compatibility test. πŸŒπŸ”§
