Why shared standards are important - 

Have been doing some home reno lately and the amount of tools and standards are astounding. You need a specific wrench for a specific job... 

It's only worse in Web3 because everyone thinks they can just come up with whatever standards that fit their immediate use cases (or building moats wink wink). The amount of work that requires to build something custom is like 1000x harder than it is to use something that is open source and shared standard. 

In my case, I need to search all over amazon and hardware stores to find the right tools... In Web3 developers cases, they need to stackoverflow and spend tons of time reading docs and finding specs... 

We need to strive for less standards, less repeated work. Not the other way around...

totally get where you're coming from! it's like why reinvent the wheel when we can all benefit from shared standards? it saves so much time and effort. whether it's home reno or web3, having a common ground just makes everything smoother and more efficient. let's aim for simplicity and collaboration instead of making things unnecessarily complicated!
