Phenomenal book with a number of pages about the hacker mindset. I’m still not done.

Excerpts: - A person who endeavors to solve problems with a computer should be distinguished from someone who does so in order to spend more time at the computer. A real scientist can go home at the end of the day and think about something important, like their family, and not be kept up by thoughts of the computer. A scientist who is ever-tweaking their code for more dopamine is not a scientist but a computer addict with a side job as a scientist.

- A computer’s memory is a perfect medium wherein any memory configuration is possible. As the programmer’s power over this domain is effectively absolute, one must acknowledge that their corruption and will to exploit this domain is also absolute.

- Technology amplifies power. It is a lever. Just because your choice was impactful doesn’t make it right.
