This post from Scott Burkett does a great job of talking about the virtues of unix that I admire so much.
I have "The Unix Philosophy" by Mike Gancarz, and I really agree with it. In my experience, the fastest and most bug-free code results when you write programs (shell, java, awk, c, etc) that:
1. Have no captive user interface.
2. Are small and simple.
3. Do one and only one thing well.
