That claim doesn't even work for the 0 line shell script that used to be /bin/true (which is why it is no longer a 0 line shell script), much less any more complicated program.
Fuck those people, people who says that usually doesn't even understand half the time. When I ask people like that when they write a functionality a certain way during code review usually they'll just quote someone on Twitter or some blogspam article saying A is shit, B is the best way to do things.
you forget StackOverflow. I saw my coworker once copy-and-paste code... from the question.... and not understand why it wasn't working.... I'm all for using StackOverflow to get help with weird problems but, most of the time, simply reading the docs and applying that knowledge to the problem you are trying to solve is enough. a forgotten art for sure.....
