I see the author and I share a naming convention for our miscellaneous scripts, and `do.sh` appears prominently in both our work.

I subsequently branched out to e.g. `do-backups.sh`, where despite the `do-` being superfluous, I quite like the aesthetic.

Slightly more on topic: I really enjoy blog series like these, with plenty of detail on esoteric topics I really have no idea about, or on the face of it much interest in. They're a fun way to increase the breadth of topics I have a superficial knowledge of.

I've been pushing the author to write this up for a year now (we both work at University of Tennessee). He teaches a lot of OS-oriented courses and makes them for fun so he is perfect to write this.

Next I'm trying to convince him to make an OS in Zig for Raspberry Pi with a focus on graphics. If you have any suggestions for him, shoot him an email!

What would a "focus on graphics" mean? A GUI and windowing system, or just graphics processing?

I want it to be a video game console :) I think our students would have a lot of fun with that.
