@manatwork I didn't know that -f is free. But it's shorter the way you say it, no matter if it was free or not. I am really confused when counting command line options towards the byte count. Is there a rule or a post that talks about which options count and which don't? I couldn't find it on my own.

Actually that is just 60 bytes. The enclosing single quotes and the escape code for single quote are needed only because the shell. You can put the code in a file max.awk and run it as gawk -f max.awk, so becomes clear that only the 60 bytes in the file needs to be counted. (The -f command line option is for free, other command line options would be counted.)
