Ask HN: What article said 7 last Unix code someone could keep in their head?

3 pointsby thevibesman7 days ago
I&#x27;m looking for an article&#x2F;paper I found on HackerNews (maybe in 2018 or 2019) that someone posted that was some description of a UNIX version (7 I think?) and in the introduction they mentioned it being the last version of UNIX that was small enough for one person to keep all the code in their head.<p>Does anyone know what paper I might be thinking of? I can&#x27;t seem to locate it.
