TLDR

Author rants about how the size of the executable for the Unix `true` command has increased "exponentially" from 0 to 22KB over ~30 years, for no apparent reason other than "because it can", referring to cosmology, of course.

"...true and false commands also don’t need an option that can invert the result, or one that would allow it to send its result by email to a party of your choice."

The article is humorous in nature, but not without a point.

OP, thanks for sharing the article.
