I have always loved this article and I remember it posted on the wall of the CS break room. I enjoyed it so much that it was the first thing I searched for when AltaVista was released. I think it influenced and introduced me to the hacker ethos. Although I don’t qualify as a real programmer as I graduated with Pascal, C, COBOL and Haskell under my belt with no Fortran.
