The Psychotic Network FerretSome AI coder: "I" wrote this new thing that searches for hidden strings in files.
Most youngins: Oh wow, that is so useful, I wish I had this years ago!
Us greybeards: Congratulations, you reinvented grep.
This is absolutely a subtoot.
Cue someone pointing out the code I am talking about may be running multithreaded and be faster than grep.....
Congratulations, you reinvented grep with xargs.
