"Many of these utilities are approaching 30 years old and include revisions by many people over the years.""They are not designed for long life or to scale beyond their role."Would love to see some examples from the author of programs he believes are "designed for long life" that have been around 30 years.Or even ones he thinks will be around for 30 years.

Fun fact, if you install coretuils from homebrew on MacOS, since MacOS already ships with od(1), od from coretuils is installed as god(1)

I noticed at least one error, if the author is here. The short description on the shred page[0] is actually the description for csplit[1]. It should be something along the lines of "overwrite a file to hide its contents, and optionally delete it".[0]: <a href="https://maizure.org/projects/decoded-gnu-coreutils/shred.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://maizure.org/projects/decoded-gnu-coreutils/shred.htm...</a> [1]: <a href="https://maizure.org/projects/decoded-gnu-coreutils/csplit.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://maizure.org/projects/decoded-gnu-coreutils/csplit.ht...</a>

Cool, I didn't know this existed. I think simple ones like `yes` can be very interesting just to see how the base code of a utility (that writes to stdout) is written.<a href="https://maizure.org/projects/decoded-gnu-coreutils/yes.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://maizure.org/projects/decoded-gnu-coreutils/yes.html</a>

Kind of a fun list of basic utilities. I've been using UNIX for a loooong time and had never heard of e.g. `shred`, `shuf`, or `factor`. Makes me want to try<pre><code> sudo find / -type f -exec shred {} \; </code></pre> to see how far it gets before killing itself (on a VM or easily re-flashed machine of course).

I do like that /bin/true can actually fail and return false, which technically makes a "Not /bin/false" invocation more resilient: <a href="https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/master/src/true.c#L67">https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/master/src/true....</a> (and yes, I know it's the most unlikely thing, I just found it funny)

As a novice programmer trying to sharpen my grasp of how to fruitfully apply DS&A, are there any of these I should look at in particular?

I might be missing a point of this site, but don't we have man (or info) pages for each of these?

Try to avoid gnu options and niche commands.Stick to busybox commands as much as you can.
