Paul Graham: Hackers and Painters

Posted by michael on from the use-lots-of-gouache dept.

larsberg writes "Another wonderful article from Paul Graham on hackers, their lifestyle, and their tools. It's entitled "Hackers and Painters", and provides a great description of how the great hackers write code. The article is definitely worth a read, especially for those who have an inkling that any field that has to place the word "Science" in its name probably isn't really a science after all."

    Um...no...some of us read more than 10 words per minute ;-)

    Yes, I read the whole thing before I posted. Novel idea around here, eh? ;-)

    I'm very sorry, but maybe you should have just read the fine article. Who knows, you might just have learned something.

    Your post is utterly off-topic.
