- IsaacSchlueter 18y agoHahaha, I'm not sure "we hackers" can take credit for him -- he's Ayn Rand's creation, after all, and she didn't even use a typewriter. Although, on the subject of "Hackers and Blank", her essays on writing always very much echoed my feelings about programming. I collected some illustrative quotes from the book in this blog post: http://foohack.com/?p=32 http://foohack.com/?p=32

- IsaacSchlueter 18y agoSay, well that's odd. My short URLs don't work unless you're signed in. I suspect WP-Supercache is to blame. Thanks for fixing the link. This works: http://foohack.com/index.php?p=32 http://foohack.com/index.php?p=32
