I don't think its a dirty thought; its a different perspective. But I do suspect that one of the qualities of a good hacker is to be relentlessly curious about how things work, to set up something and then be curious about how it works "under the hood", and to dedicate some serious time to learning it. Inevitably, that has an effect on relationships and general life.
- oblio 8y agoI'm not in the camp I described in the previous comment, I was just making an observation. > Inevitably, that has an effect on relationships and general life. I'll make another observation: I don't think so. There's plenty of people who lack curiosity that led happy lives. I don't think anyone can prove a correlation between curiosity and success in life. Heck, one could joke that there's a reason most proverbs say the opposite, in almost every language out there ("curiosity killed the cat" in English, "curious people die young", in my native Romanian).
