The Hacker Ethic

Hacker code of morality that was originally formed by the MIT hackers in the late 1950s to the late 1960s and articulated by Steven Levy in his book HACKERS: HEROES OF THE COMPUTER REVOLUTION. The creed is as follows:

1)Always yield the Hands-On Imperative! Access to computers-- and andything else which might teach you about the way the world works-- should be unlimited and total.
2) All information should be free.
3) Mistrust Authority-- Promote Decentralization.
4) Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
5) You can create art and beauty on a computer.
6) Computers can change your life for the better.
While many of the 1960s hackers claim that modern hackers have rejected this code, it has actually strongly influenced all hackers for the last thirty years.

Hacker News

A website where over enthusiastic programmers and entrepreneurs ("hackers", as they call it) gather and rediscover old ideas thinking they are novel and congratulate each other in the process. They have "curious" conversations, which is a euphemism for a contest of who can use the most convoluted sequence of words to describe terrible ideas that go nowhere. They share articles and news stories with each other, with the added flavor of grandiose commentary. There is ritual of babysitting new users and reminding them to be gentle and not commit heinous acts such as challenging their terrible ideas.
OMG, I can't stop laughing at this comment thread on Hacker News. Are these people serious?
