by whom?

When? Depending how far back you go, The hacker culture attracted a very specific type of person. It was self-selective, so they themselves had similar cultural norms.
Today is very different. Hackers are more diverse, thus these issues come to light.
This brings us back to:
> Now we are being invaded.
There are going to be growing pains, but in the end, diversity is a good thing, right?
Or is this all an issue about degree?

Depending how far back you go, The hacker culture attracted a very specific type of person. It was self-selective, so they themselves had similar cultural norms. I guess that the startup scene made us popular, which tends to attract the sort of people who like guidelines, rules and control. > There are going to be growing pains, but in the end, diversity is a good thing, right? I just do not see why we need rules. Specially rules we are not expected to bend.
