Great Hackers http://www.paulgraham.com/gh.html "... who are the great hackers? How do you know when you meet one? That turns out to be very hard. Even hackers can't tell." A hacker is someone who loves to work on interesting problems. "It seems like the only way to judge a hacker is to work with him on something." "Because you can't tell a great hacker except by working with him, hackers themselves can't tell how good they are. This is true to a degree in most fields." Paul Graham : July 2004
