We're hacker's, which in the classic, geek definition of the word means to build something by taking existing tools and applying them in a new and unusual way.
What you are suggesting is essentially cracking the system and breaking it. If I could down vote an article, I would.
- LPTS 18y agoI'm not suggesting to do it. Also, if it's broken already (because it's a video game), forcing it to evolve would be fixing it, not breaking it. I'm just curious.
- iamelgringo 18y agoYou're not forcing something to evolve if you try and break a system. You're breaking a software system. Software is not biology, and it's developer's time is very valuable. I'd say that this site in particular is very valuable, because the developer behind it is PG, and there are a lot of readers who are hackers and founders. If you want to game a system, please go game some other system like Reddit, or Digg. Please don't mess with Hacker News. It's hard enough to maintain the signal to noise ratio as it is without people purposefully gaming the system.
