I was a menace online until around 2008. I'm so glad most of my history is erased, and nobody knows my old aliases. Now in my 40s working for big enterprise.

- thoroughburro 2y agoDismantle many democracies in your time? Then not that similar.
- ta1243 2y agoLooks like he was a script-kiddie, at most he dismantled some game-cheating sites. Maybe he used back-orifice to open someone's cd drive for the lolz. (This assumes he wasn't just making it up) Sounds a very familiar background. His support of a horrendous reigime today is unrelated to his actions in his youth.
- moomin 2y agoI dunno, DOGE's activities feel very much like a public policy version of being a script kiddie.
- red-iron-pine 2y agothe implication of 'script kiddie' is also low hanging fruit and things like website vandalism. DOGE is dismantling the western global order and destroying generations of government institutions. these are far, far more damaging than anything a script kiddie could ever do, and will impact generations of Americans + many other countries.

- galactus 2y agoHe is probably more of a menace now than before tho
- madethisnow 2y agobased on what?
- red-iron-pine 2y agoChange control meetings, architecture review boards, requirements reviews, release approvals, etc. etc.
- oefrha 2y agoPeople forget that Robert Morris of Y Combinator was a convicted felon, in fact the first under CFAA IIRC (not that I believe his intent was nefarious at the time). He’s fine now.
- TheCondor 2y agoHe’s owned it though. Did his probation and community service. Many, maybe most of us did stupid things, it’s part of a hacker youth. Owning it, admitting it, that’s a big part of building trust and proving to others that you’ve grown and changed.
- red-iron-pine 2y agoalso wasn't his dad NSA?
- oefrha 2y agoKinda hard to not own it when you’re convicted.
- hansmayer 2y agoObligatory 'username checks out' comment :)
