What if we just picked random words out of a hat and spent a creative weekend implementing a "The _____ Metaphor" interface for them?
... that would require me to actually be able to, like, execute medium-scale visions. And actually program project-sized things.
the Picnic-Basket UI metaphor
the Carrier-Bag UI metaphor (/LeGuin ref)
I think possibly #DuskOS implements the Fishing-Boat-On-An-Ocean UI metaphor?
the Goat-Herd UI metaphor
the Indentured Servent UI metaphor you might THINK to just point to LLM chatbots about this but arguably Amazon Alexa did this too in a more limited capacity and also arguably Ask Jeeves attempted to implement some of this
... hmmm.
the Feeding Punchcard Stacks Into An IBM Mainframe UI metaphor?
is that allowed? is that legal? are we at a place where we can like? do that? as a society?
