Ryan Tennant is a Linux/Unix professional with over twenty five years of industry experience. Most of his work has focused on infrastructure-as-code, distributed computing, capacity planning, performance tuning, disaster recovery, and highly available system design.
He was mentored by some "old school" hacker types - you know, the guys using Unix from the early 70s waging the BSD/ATT, vi/emacs, and mainframe/mini holy wars. So, philosophically, he tends to be a bit of a purist preferring small, efficient tools that do one thing well versus monolithic programs (pipes vs Perl); standard versus proprietary tools and formats; core system versus third party; automation versus manpower; etc.
Argoth has been his handle since his early BBS days and he can now be found continuing this tradition on EFnet, Usenet, and several community forums.
