Sure but that's like discovering how to make pizza vs discovering how to put a frozen pizza into a microwave. You'd be generally more proud from the first one

- borski 3y agoDepends on how much you cook and how good you are at it, right? When I was a kid, I was damn proud of "discovering" Sub7 and using it to fuck with all of my friends, teaching them to do the same. Years later, I would "discover" how to read assembly by reading a book on it and then "discover" pirated copies of various disassemblers online and use them to reverse engineer games, write keygens, etc. Years later, I would write my first 0day exploit and then eventually make a whole career out of that. But I was just as proud of discovering and using Sub7 to mess around as a kid as I was popping my first shell. I just knew more at each stage; the act of 'discovery' felt little different, though.
- avg_dev 3y agoidk what sub7 is, but this is a great post. i like it a lot. sometimes i find it easy to forget what learning is and how it can take place and that we learn from each other and each other's work and sometimes we discover something that no one has discovered before -- it is all learning. thanks.

- worewood 3y agoThe amount of preteens I've seen that can't even feed themselves these days without help from their mom, I'd say microwaving a pizza is an achievement.
