No programming background.
Try not to write a book..but hard to answer.
Might sound cheesy, but the truth: Woke up one day and knew I needed a change. I decided to take a couple years out and retool.
I'm sure every hacker says this, but I want to change the world.
Took advice from CS friend at Stanford, who told me "your totally a rails guy" and it kind of grew on me like a disease I couldn't shake!
- gamechangr 15y agoLet me know if you have opposing advice...always interested to learn more!!
- ramblerman 15y ago"I'm sure every hacker says this, but I want to change the world." I'm having a hard time making "no programming experience" congruent with "being a hacker". I don't mean to put you down, I hate the elitism that is found in a lot of hacker subculture. But what part of the culture do you identify with, if you've never coded?
- gamechangr 15y agoI guess I can see where you may have read into my comment. I don't consider myself a hacker in any way, shape, or form. I didn't mean to imply that I thought I was a hacker....just that I would imagine that "change the world" is mentioned often by hackers.
