I kind of expected this to happen: Coding will become an "artisanal craft" - much like woodworking for example. Sure for most of your furniture you can just go to ikea but every now and then you might get joy from making something with your own hands.
well, if we go by the title then I would expect that he's writing the code on a piece of paper and not typing into a computer - heh
But, okay, that could make a valid excuse.
But, what you cannot excuse yourself for, is that you don't really add any functionality. In fact, you don't reproduce all the functionality let alone adding more.
Will this actually update the 'last modified' date for an already existing file?
Also, there's a standard way of processing command line arguments on Linux/Unix, which is not being followed here.
Major bug in the first command.
Technically, yes, it updates the last modified date, by actually emptying the file. He should have use "w+" or "a" instead of "w".
PS: I like this guy.

Might be a 9-5 coder.
