I had a quick look through the archives. This is another fun one: http://lkesteloot.blogspot.com/2006/08/hackers.html http://lkesteloot.blogspot.com/2006/08/hackers.html I want nothing to do with hackers because I don't have hard problems. I don't have to write compilers or distributed databases. I have problems where co-workers write "WARNING:" in capital letters in messages to the user, effectively yelling at them. I have problems where co-workers write, "5 selected album(s)" because they can't be bothered to write an "if" statement to conditionally remove the pluralization. I have problems where co-workers write the entire text of a dialog box in bold and don't line up the title and the body of the message. Those are the problems I have, and hackers aren't going to help me. In fact, hackers are the ones most likely to commit these errors because user interfaces bore them. Yes, user inferaces bore me. I wrote a recursive layout generator so I'd never have to worry about lining up anything ever again, so I literally do not have the problems he does at work. But I guess my 'toy' implementation isn't fit for a 'production' system, wherein you manually align everything.
