- krapp 3y agoUnfortunately, the historical hacker culture is not the hacker culture for which this forum was created. Watching the culture clashes when expectations meet reality is always a hoot.

- cad31 3y agoI am with you but unfortunately the sense of "hacker" here is closer to what it is in "hackaton". A "hackaton" is an event where ivy league students compete to write sloppy code using APIs from different corporations. They also get branded t-shirts and free redbull (paid by said corporations).
