Decoded: GNU Coreutils

Re:Decoded: GNU Coreutils by rcr on Saturday September 09, 2023 @12:49PM (#37447384)

For an extremely simple utility like the 'yes' command that is compiled and distributed as a binary to trillions of installations what metric do you consider more important, size and speed? Or lines of code in the source? Think about this in engineering terms, everything is a tradeoff and it's your job to come up with the best solution.

I'm genuinely curious to hear your argument.

previous comments have demonstrated this not to be the case, so I will stand by my previous points. I have already made over 10 comments on this one topic, so if any aren't already convinced, they never will be, either because they disagree with the tradeoff, or they just have stockholm syndrome for C.

You've demonstrated nothing and made no discernable argument to anyone. Best of luck in the job search my friend.

I think anyone who has the ability to read and comprehend text would disagree with the comment I am replying to. Best of luck in the high school level reading class my friend.
