I would expect an attitude towards efficiency, driven by measurements and objectivity, engineering and professionalism, not a reckless, for fun, why-not, hype-based one.
- blivens 6y agoThis strikes me as a pretty narrow view of the hacker mindset. Sure, "hype-driven" is not exactly hacker-y, but "reckless," "for fun," and "why not" all sound exactly like hacker attitudes to me. A prime example would be Claude Shannon, who built tons of useless overcomplicated things just for fun in addition to coming up with information theory.
