I feel like the art of UNIX is slowly fading into oblivion, especially with the new generation of programmers/developers.
Eventually, they'll become the ones that decide the fate of software engineers (by being hiring managers, etc.) and we'll see more and more monstrosity like the article portraits, instead of cleverly using UNIX tools where applicable.
There's so many things that the software world is doing wrong that I am surprised that even at this inefficacy, it's such a viable and well-paid profession. It's almost as if we are creating insanely complex solutions that in turn require a large amount of developers to support them, whereas we could have chosen a much more practical solution which is self-sustaining.
