I grew up after the open source revolution of the 80's and 90's, but my parents did not get internet until I was in high school. At one point though, I read "How To Be A Hacker" and tried to emulate that world when I started to learn programming. I fell out of love with as I grew up, but there's still a bit of nostalgia for that world to me(false nostalgia - I was never part of it).

I chronicled my journey and why I stopped liking it: http://www.ahalbert.com/technology/2013/04/02/hackerpolitics...
