I agree with the thesis of Will's post. I'd just like to point out that 1) meetings are still Evil (capital E) and 2) "free-flowing, organic discourse," as Will puts it, is perfect for anti-meeting culture. It's n

I actually don't like using extra monitors, keyboards, or a mouse. I just use my 13" Macbook Air with basic headphones. I find that I'm most comfortable when I'm mobile and minimalist.

Disclaimer: I'm a Hacker School S'12 alum, but these words are my own only. I don't believe Nick or any Hacker School facilitator look to revolutionize "hacker." I don't believe they want to get into any semantic argument. If anything, the

Hey there, I did Hacker School this past summer. I was one of the most beginner-level programmers in the beginning. I never opened my terminal, never heard of functional programming, and didn't even know how html and css worked. I was a
