Unix 哲學:組合家庭
Ken Thompson & Dennis Ritchie (1969)
Unix 唔係單體系統——佢係一家工具因為佢哋共享共同協議而一齊運作。每個工具知道佢嘅角色:grep 搜索,sort 排序,awk 處理,sed 轉換。佢哋透過管道溝通,每個執行佢嘅功能而唔侵犯其他嘅領域。父(內核)從頂部提供強領導。母(shell)管理工作流程。子(工具)每個都有佢哋適當嘅特性同位置。Wilhelm 話家庭嘅影響向外散發好似火產生嘅風——而嗰正正係發生嘅嘢。Unix 哲學從貝爾實驗室向外傳播:寫做一件事好嘅程式,令佢哋一齊運作,處理文本流作為通用介面。呢個模式跨操作系統、語言、架構複製。家庭結構擴展係因為每個元素維持佢適當嘅角色同時對整體作出貢獻。影響從內部向外運作。
Historical Context
- Period
- 周代
- Oracle Bone Etymology
- 風(☴)在上,火(☲)在下——柔和安放喺附著上。風從火發出,代表從內向外嘅影響。
- Traditional Use
- Wilhelm 描述呢個為家庭內運作嘅法則,轉移到外部生活,令國家同世界保持秩序。每爻代表家庭關係:父、子、夫、妻、兄弟。

Practical Guidance
你建緊需要作為連貫系統運作但允許個別組件自主嘅嘢。呢個係家庭模式:定義角色、清晰邊界、相互依賴。
呢度呢個可能意味住:你嘅介面必須基於真正需求,唔係理論優雅。Unix 工具透過文本流溝通係因為文本係真實、通用嘅需求——唔係因為有人諗佢哲學上純粹。火焰依賴燃料。
家庭結構透過幾個機制成功。首先,邊界內嘅堅固隔離——每個組件知道佢嘅領域而唔越界。第二,中心(shell、母)管理流程而唔施加武斷意志——服務實際需求,唔係奇想。第三,嚴厲同縱容之間嘅適當平衡——喺重要嘅地方有強協議,喺嗰啲界限內靈活。
失敗模式:當組件唔尊重邊界或當冇強建築權威。太嚴厲導致僵化同後悔。太弱——俾每個組件做任何佢哋想要嘅——導致恥辱。無法維護嘅混亂。
如果你設計系統或團隊,早啲建立清晰角色。令邊界堅固但唔壓迫。確保管理流程嘅人——shell、產品負責人、架構師——專注於實際需求,唔係個人偏好。最重要:俾你嘅工作透過內在真理命令尊重。透過實際一致咁解決真實問題,而唔係透過外部力量。
家庭模式擴展係因為佢基於分化但相互依賴嘅元素之間嘅自然關係。相同原則應用無論你設計軟件、組織團隊定架構系統。
