中文导读
贝尔实验室 1982 年拍摄的珍贵历史影片，由 Victor Vyssotsky 主持，Kernighan、Thompson 和 Ritchie 等 UNIX 祖师爷亲自出镜，拆解 UNIX 诞生的渊源与哲学，现场演示管道、过滤器以及用一行 Shell 脚本拼出拼写检查工具。
为什么 HN 推它
追溯 Unix 哲学源头不可多得的第一手资料，听创造者们原汁原味地阐述「小即是美」的工具组合思想与管道机制，思路清晰无比。
「里面关于管道机制（pipeline）的讲解透彻得令人叹为观止。」HN 网友原话：The pipelines explanation was incredibly clear.
英文原摘要（HackerTube / Claude 整理）
A 1982 Bell Labs film hosted by Victor Vyssotsky on the origins and design philosophy of the UNIX operating system, with appearances by Kernighan, Thompson and Ritchie. It shows pipes, filters and a shell one-liner spell checker being built.
HN points people to it as the clearest primary-source explanation of Unix pipes and the small-tools philosophy, straight from the creators.
HN 上的提及
Like this video from 1982, including Kernighan, Thompson, Ritchie, and Aho.
I wish someone showed me the UNIX operating system introduction by Kernighan et al before anything else.
concise, expressive, flexible, modular... Which makes it beautiful...
Recently I discovered the AT&T history channel, with this gem
The pipelines explanation was incredibly clear.
