### 1/5 — Reinvention

*2024-04-19, version 3.8.2*

Why, why, why, why the f… why do developers feel the necessity to  reinvent everything 
, to no great purpose. There’s been well established methods for copying files between environments for smeggin decades. Why is there some belief the way to do things you have start by creating yet another directory on the iPad. There’s already a file system on it, use the f…… thing. As an SMB client what’s wrong with being able to just navigate to the directory on the local machine and in pane next to it the host receiving.
