that's what libcap-ng says it would take. But you see that, and I mean that is literally, to some programmers at least, that's an afternoon. To get that right, that's a full afternoon. For some programmers it might not be. It'll be a copy and a paste and just a couple of little things. They know what they're doing. Super simple. Maybe it takes 15 minutes instead of 5, maybe it takes 30 instead of 15, whatever. Not a big deal. To other people, it's almost a deal breaker. And either way, if you're faced with the choice of, shall I write all of this code or just a little bit of code, then you're going to take a little bit of code for lots of reasons. Not only does it keep you going for that day, like your momentum continues, you don't have to stop and learn about permissions and figure out all the different code that you need to write and where the code needs to go and how to make sure that it's organized. But in the future, when you're maintaining your software, when you're making sure (16/54)
