Am I the only one who has trouble categorizing himself a "hacker" and "entrepreneur"? For some reason, I have an easier time just saying that I am a computer programmer and I have an interest in business opportunities. I am increasingly running into blogs of twenty-something folks calling themselves "Millenial Serial Entrepreneur" because they started a web design business and have some other source of income, and for some reason it comes across as a bit over the top.
- davidw 18y agoI was just sort of curious. My own answer was simply 'hacker', even though I wouldn't rate myself a very good one compared to some of the really amazing hackers I've met (I got to watch Paul Mackerras start a Linux port to a new PPC machine... he started out by fiddling with the memory by inputting hex numbers to see what came out. It was seriously impressive). I was also curious about the number of people who actually run profitable firms as opposed to those, like myself, who just want to.
