Aren't all programs just wrappers around kernel calls?

Really, it's all just wrappers around the strong nuclear force.

Funny to think the strong nuclear force is just one dude’s underfunded and barely maintained side project that might collapse some day

The important bits of most applications aren't in syscalls; the important bits of a SaaS app might well be a program it wraps. Or not, of course; sometimes an easy UI is the important bit.

Luckily, we’ve overloaded the work kernel, so yes—we can all agree that every program is a kernel calls. Every useful program is just a fancy wrapper around DGEMM kernels.

Ah yes, but in what order should you make those system calls?

Tapping with a hammer: $2. Knowing where to tap: $9,998.00

Not the kernel.. (insert ackchyually meme here)
