the assembly line, rebuilt for data, dreams, and crude oil alike.
means a sequence of stages that automatically pushes something — liquid, code, talent, or content — from raw input to finished output.
from from 19th-century oil infrastructure, literal pipe plus line, later borrowed by computing in the 1970s unix world where programs could feed output directly into other programs.
