Via LtU, Linus Torvalds on Coding Style.
If you want to see a system that was more thoroughly designed, you should probably point not to Dennis and Ken, but to systems like L4 and Plan-9, and people like Jochen Liedtk and Rob Pike.
And notice how they aren't all that popular or well known? "Design" is like a religion - too much of it makes you inflexibly and unpopular.
The very architecture of UNIX has very much been an evolution. Sure, there
are some basic ideas, but basic ideas do not make a system.
