Doug McIlroy (left) with Dennis Ritchie McIlroy , then head of the Bell Labs Computing Sciences Research Center, and inventor of the Unix pipe , [8] summarized the Unix philosophy as follows: [1] This is the Unix philosophy: Write programs that do one thing and do it well.

The concept of pipelines was championed by Douglas McIlroy at Unix's ancestral home of Bell Labs, during the development of Unix, shaping its toolbox philosophy. It is named by analogy to a physical pipeline. A key feature of these pipelines is their "hiding of internals" (Ritchie & Thompson, 1974).

Malcolm Douglas McIlroy (born 1932) is an American mathematician, engineer, and programmer, best known for having originally developed Unix pipes, software componentry, and several Unix tools, such as spell, diff, sort, join, graph, speak, and tr.
