deep hack mode

When coding, one may get into the deep hack mode. At this point, you forget everything around you and become one with the code. Nothing exists any more except for the problem you are working on. In this zen-like state, you may not only solve your problem but achieve this better than you would ever have imagined. If you are not able to reach the deep hack mode, you will never become more than a mediocre programmer.
- "I wanted to see Dave, but when I started to talk to him, he just raised his hand and continued looking at the screen. I waited for 20 minutes for him to turn towards me, but he just continued typing. Does he hate me?"
- "No, he was in deep hack mode. You should be happy that you saw this phenomenon with your own eyes."

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.
