Philosophy
The ART of Unix programming Eric Raymond
Write SIMPLE parts connected by CLEAN interfaces
CLARITY is better than cleverness
Design programs to be CONNECTED to other programs
ps uax | grep ruby | sort | uniq
Design for SIMPLICITY; add complexity ONLY where you must

PROTOTYPE before polishing. GET IT WORKING before you OPTIMIZE it
DISTRUST all claims for “ONE TRUE WAY”
Design for the FUTURE, because it will be here SOONER
than you think
