  1. I wish I had seen this video 20 yrs ago. Just learning the significance of pipes and how revolutionary a concept it was has totally changed my perception of just how fundamental UNIX is. This video is basically chapter1 of every book on the subject and is something that should be required viewing for anyone lucky enough to use to earn a living, accomplish meaningful tasks, and expand knowledge and understanding on a wide variety of scientific, economic and mathematic fields. To me, this has been a very motivating view at a time when I’ve recently done a major re-evaluation of the direction of my second half of my career. I can’t overstate how enlightening it has been to listening to these fore-persons of extremely powerful tools that are so meaningful to so many disparate fields of study…such an authentic and authoritative discussion. I almost can’t wait to apply myself to my new perspective, so changed in a mere 28 minutes.
