I agree, but I wasn't deciding for anyone; just saying what happens in my case.
> It's fucking incredible.
I totally agree, but it's not hacking. It assembling LEGO with instructions.
I am not saying I'm a better hacker or that it has to be done the way I say. What I'm just saying is that if you follow the instruction books, tutorials or videos, you are not doing any hacking. You are just assembling IKEA furniture. I am not saying that is not useful, that won't teach you anything or that you should be doing something else. I'm just saying that is not hacking.
- peteforde 7y agoI guess you tell your current or future children that their feeling of excitement at the realization that they can build anything they can imagine with time and effort is less legitimate than the pure rush you experienced on a C64 just because you didn't have any access to reference material? I just think you're being a bit of a temporal chauvinist. I'm not angry with you and it's okay if we disagree. :) https://vimeo.com/312006066 https://vimeo.com/312006066
