Nice talk about unix/linux power usage...

I've recently stumbled upon this nice talk from a few years back. Found it on the Youtube Channel for the goto conferences. The whole channel is worth a look. A lot of good stuff can be found there.

Goto Conferences Youtube Channel

The talk impressed me for two reasons:

  1. The guy uses vi for the whole presentation and that works pretty well. Need to play around with the vi more.

  2. I think this talk illustrates pretty well why unix/linux are so powerful to work with as a developer. As the carpenter works with wood, the materials the developer works with are text and files. And the whole os and the linux shells are geared towards working with text/files. This is the reason why every developer should have a look at linux / unix shells even if he works on Windows.
