Real examples here?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.
But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.
I believe the quintessential example is curl Also here's the relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2347/
The curl author writes a lot about his struggles, but he's also employed to maintain curl, so not really a good example
