Masters in Comp Sci from Cleveland State, means I've been taught to write code, and have professionally in 19 different languages. Perl is my fav though due to textural processing. I've been a Linux admin since Redhat ver 3. I've been a Unix admin since 1990, and my AIX and Solaris is recent. My code tends to look very 'C' like, but I strive to make things immediately obvious and readable as if the code were a section of english prose. I write almost nothing that involves a user interface. All of my code is design to run behind the scenes. I have contributed to the open source community including a few driver updates, but nothing very recent. Mostly what I write is automation. Once I've identified a task that needs to happen periodically, I look for a way to have a machine perform the task. One of my professors said that once you've done a segment of code three times, you should write it as a subroutine. Generally by the time I'm doing something the second time I'm already pseudo coding it.
