You disagree but then cite another example of low hanging fruits that nobody took action on until you came along? Did you accidentally respond to the wrong comment? Because if anything you're giving another example of "most devs n

Dang, that's mind boggling - especially if I keep in mind that a book series like lord of the rings is mere kilobytes if saved as plain text. Having 86 TB of plain text/source code - I can't fathom the scale, honestly Are you

Fwiw, you didn't provide any evidence based claims anyone could make a rebuttal for. You just stated your own view as authority.
