Might look like it, might also just be survivorship bias. Alot of crackpot ideas hit the wall instead of beeing a success. We only notice the successors and might think of them as the default, not the exception.
I was commenting from that perspective, basically any thing we consider today to be “the way it’s done” was once something only crazy people did. I think maybe it was pg who said something like if you’re only working on safe things you’ll never have a breakthrough because if breakthroughs came from safe ideas then there would be more of them. I’m not saying every crazy idea changes the world but if you want to change the world you need a crazy idea.
Not only desktop, but most mobile platforms as well. Beeing coded in a single C file makes it portable as hell. Their documentation is also a prime example, with great insight.
A fun trick is to ask a colleague at work how many SQL databases they think are in the room. They almost never bear in mind SQLite is heavily used on phones, not even just smartphones.
Not only desktop and mobile, but it can be used as the storage format for larger scale distribued systems. For example it's the on disk format for FoundationDB.

It kind of is... the SQLite "amalgamation" process takes all of SQLite's source code (across 100+ files) and concatenates it together into a single sqlite3.c file: https://www.sqlite.org/amalgamation.html
1. Talk to Kara, why she prefers her approach and not yours. Don't tell her that the icon is wrong. Ask her, if the icon could be changed to the other. Maybe she is right and you are wrong. She's the expert in this scenario, not you.
If shes professional and her approach is wrong, she will see the mistake and adopt your idea. After that, let it pass and don't go out and tell everyone she was wrong. That's not very humble and fair.
2. If you really think you are right, be subborn. Stubborn people are more successfull then non-stubborn people if you look at statistics. That's why most subborn people are working in management.
3. Don't approach disputes based on a single formula. Be diplomatic, stubborn, helping and supportive. Fight the good fight.
