Someone built a TUI (Terminal User Interface) download manager and now they're fishing for upvotes on Reddit like it's revolutionary. Meanwhile, the entire internet collectively yawns because there are literally hundreds of existing download managers—wget, curl, aria2, yt-dlp, axel, you name it. The Buzz Lightyear meme format nails it: one proud developer standing in front of an endless sea of identical clones, all doing the exact same thing. It's the programming equivalent of reinventing the wheel, except this time the wheel has a fancy ASCII progress bar. The TUI part is especially chef's kiss because nothing says "please validate my weekend project" quite like adding terminal colors to a task that's already been solved a thousand times over.
