Yep, it's at the point now where you can pretty much take it for = granted. Only after you commented did I recall what it was like a few years= back when typically the best you had was grabbing a cvs snapshot for yours= elf and examining the code locally.

Rich, you have the rare ability of being able communicate technical details= in a way that is easy to understand and not horribly dry to read. If you e= ver have time and motivation, I would love to read an article from you abou= t what makes good software. =C2=A0For example, pitfalls to avoid in C (esp.= ones that even experienced devs fall into). Or good design decisions on th= e Unix/Linux platform vs poor design decisions - writing good code that is = both efficient and scalable.

I know you're busy and many of these things one can find piecemeal on t= he internets. (E.g., Rob Landley has some good thoughts on his toybox list = about cleaning up code contributions to toybox.) Still, having one good art= icle that is a joy to read makes a huge difference.
