The UNIX philosophy involves building tools that can do one job really well, writes Cherry Ramatis.

“Sometimes you’re writing a tool and quickly observe that the scope got bigger while you were writing it, now what should be a small tool is growing to be a big project with various interactive steps,” Ramatis says.
