+#### [Brian Kernighan Reflects on Unix: A History and a Memoir — Book Overflow][25]
+
+> _So is it possible for, you know, two or three people like us to have a really good idea
+> and do something that does transform our world? I suspect that that still can happen. It's
+> different, and certainly at the time I was in, you know, early days of Unix, the world was
+> smaller and simpler in the computing world, and so it was probably easier, and there was
+> more low-hanging fruit. But I suspect that there's still opportunities like that._
+
+> _I think the reason Unix and all of the things that went with it worked so well was there
+> was a big contribution from Doug's ability to improve people's lives so that what we did
+> was described well as well as working well. So I think Doug in that sense would be the
+> unsung person who didn't get as much recognition as perhaps deserved._
