I was talking with a friend who mentioned “taking tea to India”. It made me wonder what the equivalents are around the world. “Taking coals to Newcastle” is the UK’s.
I feel like the closest in the deep south is just “preaching to the choir”. A redundant task which ignores a probably better path or explaining something to someone who doesn’t need it explained to them.

I worked for the stormwater division of my city up until recently.
We had 6 people responsible for the inspection of over 30,000 pieces of stormwater infrastructure all of which needs to be inspected within a 5 year cycle. We also have to deal with citizen complaints, assisting other departments, updating maps/inventories, writing EPD/EPA reports, etc. and all for 15-18$/hr. My experience is far from abnormal as well.
We need city level government to actually give a shit about stormwater infrastructure to even get things working halfway properly let alone setup safety features.
In the desktop world, we have the option to use the command line: a uniform interface for a multitude of apps that would otherwise be very different when implemented as GUIs....
My confusion with this post is that it already exists? It’s just your home screen on your phone.
Ergonomic, supports a variety of functions (adjusting settings, running applications, customization, viewing device info), is loosely standardized (much like terminals across OSs), and widely adopted.
The only difference is touch interface vs. Text interface.
Like what are you actually looking for? A gesture controlled terminal or an interface? You already have the latter.

I read posts about people quitting jobs because they’re boring or there is not much to do and I don’t get it: what’s wrong with being paid for doing nothing or not much at all?...
I would love to read or something while sitting doing nothing every day. However, I get yelled at and constantly receive shit from my coworkers for being lazy… while they also don’t do shit.
So I sit… and stare at my screen… and press buttons occasionally.
-er is the agent suffix in English. Effectively it turns words into those who do something related to that word.
Hawk > Hawker = One who “hawks” Run > Runner = One who “runs”
In principle this implies the existance of a verbal form of the root word, such as the two above examples.
Witcher, as used by the fantasy series, is a weird one because it’s actually not related to the agent suffix.
The Polish title of The Witcher is Wiedźma which just means “witch”. When it was translated to English they adopted “witcher” as a masculine form to the oft feminine “witch” by using the ability for the -er suffix to indicate a profession or association with a noun in English i.e. Cash > Cashier, someone who handles cash/payments (actually derived from french with the -ier suffix, but point still stands). In the cass of Witcher it is one who works as/with witches or else one who is associated with Witches.
