Yes. I was careful to say "he wrote an Emacs" mainly as a supporting argument that he indeed a Hacker, unlike many contemporaries interested in technology who merely read TechCrunch.
- kleiba 2y agoEven the fact that there is more than one Emacs might be news to some of the youngsters, unless they're so young that their first reaction is "what's an Emacs?" As a matter of fact, when I started a new job a couple of years ago, I asked the sysadmins whether they could install Emacs on my machine, and they had literally never heard of it.
- lukan 2y agoGenuine question, why is that bad? I had contact with emacs in university, decided I do not like it and moved on to more modern tools. And today so many moved on that they do not even mention it in some schools and academies. Or is knowing Emacs a condition to qualify as a hacker? Well, that wouldn't be my definition.
