Great Hackers

Great Hackers
This article has an interesting prospective on what kind of programmers should be classified as great hackers, how to find a great hacker if you are running a business, and the differences between normal programmers and great hackers. I thought this article had some particularly good information, and used the term hacker in a more pleasant light. Many articles use the word hacker for a destructive virus writer or somebody who steals information. I prefer to think of a hacker as somebody who enjoys learning about computers and who has a natural ability to make them do amazing things. It's also interesting that it talks about how nobody can really tell if they themselves are a great hacker, since they very rarely have anybody to compare themselves to. Great article, gives you something to think about in regards to you and your co-workers.
