This reminds me of that story about people disappearing in real life. _why had some really cool projects. It makes a little more sense looking at him as an "artist" I guess, but aren't hackers sort of artists too? I always thought the dichotomy was a little artificial myself...
Although, hackers are associated with more utilitarianism and art isn't always functional. Sometimes hacking is for the sake of hacking though, just like art.
- iamwil 17y agoWasn't there recently that story on front page of HN about disappearing completely? Maybe _why got the idea to disappear from the article.
- lux 17y agoThis made me think of that one too actually. Kind of an intriguing concept... there's almost something romantic about the idea of escape, something artistic...
