Using unix as your IDE
On the one hand, I'm pleased that someone is posting this in the new-fangled bloggy tutorial style popular among the youth of today. It's nice to see my preferred environment evangelized.<p>On the other, it's a giant facepalm that the simplest, best documented, most powerful development tradition of the last 40 years actually needs this treatment.  That there is a whole generation of developers who come out of school thinking that "building" is the action of pressing a button in an IDE GUI (and that "writing a program" means launching a big wizard that pukes a dozen files into a new directory) is just depressing.<p>Oh, and get off my lawn.
