- johnfn 9mo agoLiterally from the horse's mouth, 15 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1648199 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1648199 > In the sense of the word that means people who write code, not people who break into things It would be like if you were going over a list of pros and cons and when you got to the cons some guy was like "wow, you work with criminals, huh?" Then you tell him not that sort of con and he says "yeah, typical nerd bickering". C'mon.
