The UNIX Philosophy (idea) by everyone

From what I understand it (and no, I haven't read the book), it is largely dominated by minimalism and rich I/O such as pipes and sockets. (all of which, you will notice, from a programmer's point of view, have file descriptors, and are read and written through the same calls; again, back to "everything is a file")
