The fun is the sense of accomplishment for doing something difficult or extraordinary. Humans have been doing not-fun things forever for that reason alone sometimes.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoSomething hackers repudely excel at, taking on difficult feats for the heck of it & because we humanity are great & we can.
- balls187 3y agoValve Software is hardly "hackers." They used a setup from TI, which I had the priveledge of attending this past year at CPA--one of the most stupidest overpriced venues in the US. This isn't a rag tag band of rebel filmmakers.
- balls187 3y ago> The fun is the sense of accomplishment for doing something difficult or extraordinary. I think that was the issue--the write up did not go into the details, which makes it seem like what they did was neither difficult nor extraordinary, especially if you factor in that Valve has practically unlimited amount of money to spend, a deep pool of talented employees with nothing better to do, and no deadlines.
- ok_dad 3y agoYea the details were lacking but this is a cool project which took someone’s time and creativity. Whether or not it was an accomplishment for them or valve on a grand scale doesn’t matter, you folks don’t have to shit on it because it wasn’t mind blowing. I swear, nothing impresses hacker news commenters, Dropbox included.
