linuxUsing Unix the Right Way
2010-11-26
I just read an excellent blog entry by Ted Dziuba pretty much summing up why I love working with Unix/Linux. I'm not actually a developer but use the shell every day for work - being able to whip up a shell script using all the built in Unix tools is a massive time saver (well, when I say *all* the built in Unix tools I really mean the ones that I've actually discovered and semi mastered - there are a ton of small utilities, not to mention Bash builtins...) and means I can come back to it half a year later and generally see what I was doing at the time by reading through the script. <3 Unix :-)
