6UNIX PHILOSOPHY6

Can also be applied to engineering, communication, designs & products.

1978, DOUG MCILROY

1 - Make each program do one thing well.
2 - Use output to feed into another program.
3 - Design and build to be tried early.
4 - Use tools to lighten a programming task.


1994, PETER SALUS mentioned, "write programs:

1 - to do one thing and do it well.
2 - to work together.
3 - to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface."
