I (accidentally!) repeatedly crashed the school’s mail server6 The adults in my life7 were largely not mad at me. They asked me to knock it off, but also made me a t-shirt. I don’t think I’d be doing what I do now without the encouragement that I received then. What this discord did was so cool - so surprising - so creative. It reminded me of me - except they were 10 times the developer I was then (and frankly, better developers than I am now). Getting to watch it live - getting to provide some encouragement, to see what they were doing and respond with praise and pride instead of anger - was deeply meaningful to me. I still tear up when I think about it. I’m proud to have made something that this discord decided was worth playing with, and I’m even more proud of what they did with it.]]> stories hackers hacking tools web internet culture creativity https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:earth2marsh/b:c7203c20fa99/ 2024-09-02T04:41:05+00:00 https://gwern.net/unseeing earth2marshDefining the security/hacker mindset as extreme reductionism: ignoring the surface abstractions and limitations to treat a system as a source of parts to manipulate into a different system, with different (and usually unintended) capabilities.]]> seeing hacking hacks essays systems hackers https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:earth2marsh/b:e6b7909069d9/ 2020-07-21T01:06:33+00:00 https://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/88old/coming.html earth2marshtown cat /etc/passwd >list ncheck list ncheck list cat list | grep naughty >nogiftlist cat list | grep nice >giftlist santa claus town who | grep sleeping who | grep awake who | grep bad || good for (goodness sake) { be good }]]> christmas songs nerds hackers santa lyrics https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:earth2marsh/b:e38b9f2752db/ 2012-02-14T07:36:44+00:00 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3554206 earth2marsh programming coding webdev hackers products estimates burden maintenance https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:earth2marsh/b:899ebd46e63d/ 2012-01-11T22:32:21+00:00 https://plus.google.com/106419647632534512037/posts earth2marsh geeks hackernews hackers https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:earth2marsh/b:07834dabaca8/ 2010-08-12T13:08:23+00:00 http://www.paulgraham.com/yahoo.html earth2marsh paul_graham hackers entrepreneurship business yahoo startups search technology lessons history internet advertising culture https://pinboard.in/u:earth2marsh/b:b5eae6657e01/ 2009-04-19T16:23:13+00:00 http://secure.area49.net/mhc/index.php/Main_Page earth2marsh maine club hackers technology hacks portland https://pinboard.in/u:earth2marsh/b:6d590ee60265/
