Wonderful write up!

This part hit on me

> Getting on the roof was illegal, of course, and required a bit of climbing walls. But who cared? Delivering an internet connection to our friends and other students was much more important

It’s not the point of the linked post, but it made me think about the value of friendship.

Nearly everything in life is transactional, even romantic relationships can be quite transactional, but these people were risking their lives climbing walls just to see their friends have Internet. And of course also for the intellectual challenge of providing Internet to the building!

Probably friendship is the purest human feeling there is.
