Hmmmmm ... That the benefit of contributing to a community is that you receive immensely more than you contribute.

The Unix philosophy are as follows:

1. Small is beautiful.
2. Make each program do one thing well.
3. Build a prototype as soon as possible.
4. Choose portability over efficiency.
5. Store numerical data in flat ASCII files.
6. Use software leverage to your advantage.
7. Use shell scripts to increase leverage and portability.
8. Avoid captive user interfaces.
9. Make every program a filter.
