lns: Simple symbolic links
Sometimes an idea so simple, so brilliant, so obvious crosses your path and you think, "D'oh! Why didn't I come up with this several decades ago?" And the answer is, of course, because you (like me) are a lunkhead and while we are inspired by that solution, we never really had it in us to think it up ourselves. This morning, I once again experienced that sense of awe and shame, when fellow staffers Ryan and Clint pointed me to lns after I publicly started complaining about how I could never remember which order to use for my ln arguments.
There's nothing technologically challenging about lns. It's a simple utility that I could have easily written myself; but I didn't and I never thought of it and I am so pleased that Sean M. Burke not only thought it up but also shared it with the world.
lns lets you use ln in complete ignorance of the order of arguments.
