A CV with the Rustdocumentation

be-n.com/spw/you-can-list-a-million-files-in-a-directory-but-not-with-ls.html

Takeaways:

  • It is possible to list a directory with 8 million files in it.
  • strace is your friend
  • Don't be afraid to compile code and modify it (hell, simple C compiles so fast it could be interpreted)
  • There is no good reason to have 8 million files in a directory :-), but this was a good learning experience (and possibly a good interview question).

The last point is the most important :D
