Why you should care
Pipes take the output of one command and put it on the input of another command. They can also be strung together. This way, one can find matches in a particular pattern in their name AND have a particular IP address range.
However the disadvantage is that it can be wasteful in nature and the code tends to be more efficient with a single awk command.

Business Impacts
Using pipes in a program can be a risky decision as it tends to be wasteful in both time and productivity.
