Kevin Paulson at least had some actual skills.
- nbabitskiy 8y agoRead his book, if you haven't yet. He's honest, likable guy, always curious (and hungry) to live. He wouldn't have scored high in a coding competition, but it makes his accomplishments only more impressive. Being "talented" and "winning" looks like a railroad track, interesting life is worth more imho
- paulie_a 8y agoI've read it. I believe he smashed the detective in the face with a garbage can lid to escape. Not exactly very likeable. Also he literally lied to a ton of people to gain access to systems. So not very honest
- nbabitskiy 8y agoI need a reality check sometimes. As a Russian, I naturally look at abusing cops or lying to phone company clerks as a good thing, but it's obviously my national deformation. However, he is honest to his readers, which is the best honesty we could ask for from a book.
