More garbage ycombinator hero worship. 'True Hackers' ? Grow up!
- smt88 8y agoI understood it to be a tongue-in-cheek title
- damir 8y agoYep, kinda recursive...
- Dirlewanger 8y agoYou do things ironically long enough, you end up just doing the thing...
- TekMol 8y agoOne trait of true hackers is that they actually create things. As in "hack something together". And yeah, this playful attitude to "just do it" tends to goes away when people become adults. So in my book, it is better to grow down!
- slx26 8y agoIn defense of some adults, I think a key point here is to realize that it's very different to do something alone, basically for yourself, and with the idea of (mostly) learning and exploring, that working with other people, for other people, and expecting the thing you are working on to keep functioning for the foreseable future. I think it's important to understand both contexts (and practice them!).
