No AI, 52 min. Build all Linux Files utils in C by Hand [video]

I kind of expected this to happen: Coding will become an "artisanal craft" - much like woodworking for example. Sure for most of your furniture you can just go to ikea but every now and then you might get joy from making something with your own hands.

I discovered his videos a few days ago. I imagine the "algorithm" pushed those into a lot of HN users' feeds.

Just this morning, I was wondering if it would make sense to share it on HN. And here it it on the front page. What a small world.

I just looked at the first example / utility he implemented; which was 'touch'

Will this actually update the 'last modified' date for an already existing file?

Also, there's a standard way of processing command line arguments on Linux/Unix, which is not being followed here.

sometimes, I really miss coding by hand
