How I fixed UNIX atime! With 10 lines of code and feminism!!! By Valerie Aurora

File systems are way too hard for ordinary people to understand, right? No way!!! I'll explain how I saved billions of unnecessary disk writes by fixing one of the oldest file system problems in existence --- UNIX file access time updates! I'll explain it in terms even a computer beginner can understand! And I'll show how feminism helped me do it!!!
