Remote Tech Talk at the Guild: Unix Philosophy & ToolsWebsite
Many Unix hackers avoid using an IDE when they do their work. “Unix is the IDE” they claim. In this talk, I will explain the oft-cited “unix philosophy” which permeates hacker culture and illuminates the dark path of the command line. I will then give an overview and demonstration of some of the most common and important Unix tools, such as grep, find, awk, and sed.
