Line 18:
Rolling your own bootloader is very biased and has a very negative tone. That's what I got from it. The neg tone set from the start from the author made it hard to concentrate on the actual page written. There are a lot of people who prefer to learn and write their own stuff it makes them feel like they accomplished something even its something little. There are a lot of people who don't care to use tools. It was said that if a bootloader source code was presented then someone would be using that premade bootloader instead of trying to make one and that is the not case at all.
There are quite a few people who actually study the source code to understand it even if they never use the product. How else are you to ever become one of the old greats, if you never study, different sources of code? Maybe someone would like to compare styles and learn new techniques from what they read. How else are you suppose to write things from scratch and learn the more difficult things if only tools are being shoved down your throat. At what point does the art become lost?? Idk. I like os dev but starting to hate all the biased pages with limited and narrow views. What is the point of even writing a page if you are not going to properly cover the topic?? Is this not a site to come and learn how to code the things we want to learn to code? I almost felt the reason the author couldn't provide a bootloader was because he himself has become too reliant on tools that he was unable to provide the bootloader from lack of knowledge. Not trying to start a fight, not trying to be rude, or anything like that. I am not against tools either because I use some myself for certain things. I am merely writing my view point on this page because it has irked me every time I have read it.
