Cool! Now you just need to run calculators written in COBOL on Kubernetes and the circle of insanity will be complete

These kind of complaints led me to try my hand at creating a new package manager for macOS[^1]. I really respect what the engineers at Chainguard have done with WolfiOS[^2] and tried to replicate the same - declarative package manifests which minimize the amount of dependencies. The project fizzled out after talking with some friends and realizing the futility when considering the global dominance of Homebrew.

my major and minor complaints are, in order:

tee does something very specific, it makes an unmodified copy into a file (one branch of the plumbing tee-joint) as it passes the stream to stdout (the other branch); as opposed to sed or awk or even grep, et al, which modify the stream. How in hell is this inspired by tee which does not modify its inputs?

and who capitalizes Tee?

HN autocorrect that’s who! Haha
