Only if you can review dozens of code classes, that is.

  grep is now an evil code cracking tool.

    Don't tell the FBI this, they won't know you're joking (see schwartz, manning, & wget).

      It's not that they don't know, it's that they know most people, including most judges, don't know.

    No, people who review dozens of classes to find something are definitely not familiar with grep.

      Use `ack -C8` when searching, adds a few lines of context helping identify the one class that matters. I read "reviewed dozens" as "got lost in the code for a bit"

        GNU grep has `-C` too (idk about POSIX)
        • segfaultbuserr 6y ago
          bsdgrep [0] has it too. Apparently POSIX [1] does not, the spec is really minimalist.

    Can't wait to see the next LinkedIn profile buzzword soup: "grep wizard who single handedly found the needle in the haystack"
