I liked one bit of that movie, when Hugh Jackman is pacing around muttering "I'm too old for this shit" and finishing a bottle of wine during a coding session.

  That "building the worm" scene has got to be my favorite depiction of software development of all time. https://youtube.com/watch?v=u1Ds9CeG-VY https://youtube.com/watch?v=u1Ds9CeG-VY

    Why did I just watch that again. I knew it was going to be pure cringe, but I clicked it anyway.

    lol -- brilliant. Notice he was using Github Copilot -- that's what all those green blocks are. He' just got the 31337 CLI version.

    Oh, man. I forgot how much I hated that particular scene. It was almost as bad as the "60-second crack" scene.

    I mean, it got the "% of spoken words that are profanities" part correct.

I hated it, personally. The special effects were so bad that I lost my suspension of disbelief; and the ending where John Travolta (it was a long time ago) was part of a super-secret organization that was so secret that no one knew about it nearly made me laugh.

That was not a bad movie. Prior to the movie, I read about the Carnivore and the Magic Lantern program. Then heard them mentioned in the movie, and thought "Ah! Nice".

I hated it. IIRC, there is this part where the main character is trying to assemble a virus, shouting "compile, compile, please compile... YES!". I wasn't convinced about this hacker having problems to compile a program... OR There is another possible explanation but I have to check dates since I think the movie was released way before the first version of Rust!!!

  Vulnerability discovery and programming are different skill sets. I've seen terrible code written by talented security researchers.

My dad always used the ball bearing explosion scene to demonstrate his surround sound system to guests :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiHZWeeoEUg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiHZWeeoEUg
