The /bin/sh stuff made me think of an interview
question I had for engineers,
that a surprisingly few could pass:
"Tell me about something you wrote that was entirely you, the docs, the
tests, the source, the installer, everything. It doesn't have to be a
big thing, but it has to have been successfully used by at least 10
people who had no contact with you (other than to say thanks)."
Most people fail this. I think the people who pass might look
positively on the v7 sh stuff. But who knows?
How many people who failed this question did you hire anyway?
