Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
Imagine a really bad dirt road, where (over time) people's wheels have created trenches because they're always driving in the same place. Those trenches are "ruts". The trenches/ruts make it hard to steer and tend to force you in the direction of the rut.
When someone says "I'm in a rut" they're mostly saying they've been doing the same thing for so long that they're having trouble doing something different.
Cheers,

For all things; perfection is, and will always remain, impossible to achieve in practice. However; by striving for perfection we create things that are as perfect as practically possible. Let the pursuit of perfection be our guide.

Thank you for your detailed explanation.
I thought it would be a special term in the os dev language

Oh, "rut" is a very common term (with very same meaning) in my native language (Saraiki) and my national language (Urdu) also. I thought that they are talking about any other "rut".
I have yet another problem, I am trying to figure this out but whenever I press enter or return it only produces a carrier return and not a newline. Therefore...

Building an operating system is like building an airplane, you don't want it to crash.

Nah, that looks like standard Codepage 437.
Oh, I was wrong. Characters were looking strange due problem in my computer's monitor resolution.
I eventually fixed this, but later there was a bug that it couldn't detect files in the filesystem(I am currently fixing this). It might be another stupid error like I messed up the syntax or something. I was programming my OS at around 11 PM last night so anything is possible.

Looks a lot like Space Invaders. Maybe you should just finish it up as a game instead of an OS!
