Sebastian WickTrying to answer a question no sane person ever had to ask: How Hard Is It, To Open a File?
This one is about the great POSIX idea of a filesystem, and why you could not play your games and open chrome for a few days.

How Hard Is It To Open a File?
It’s a question I had to ask myself multiple times over the last few months. Depending on the context the answer can be: very simple, just call the standard library function extremely hard, don’t trust anything If you are an app developer, you’re lucky and it’s almost always the first answer. If you develop something with a security boundary which involves files in any way, the correct answer is very likely the second one.
