Hackers and Painters book report

Hackers and paintersis works of the father of Silicon Valley startups Paul Graham. This papermainly introduces the interest and motivation of hacker that is good programmer,discuss the hacker's growth, the hacker's contribution to the world and sometopics about the method of programming languages and hackers work. That is sometopic about all the people who interested computer time. The contents of thisbook not only helps to understand the nature of computer programming, Internetindustry rules, will also help us understand our time, forcing us to think for ourselves.

After reading thisbook, I have a new understanding in hacker. Without having read the book, myunderstanding about the hacker is using of computer technology into the network.Some of them are out of interest, ones seek personal gain. But in this book, thehacker's annotation is completely different from the traditional definition ofa hacker. Real meaning of hackers is to point to an expert programmer. One whocan be called a hacker is "nerd" in the field of software orcomputer, is a artist in the field of technology, has the ability to useincomparable technology to change yourself, influence the world.

When you do something others don't approved, thelarger possibility is that you are wrong, but there is also a possibility isthat all others are wrong, but you are right. The value of the hacker is thatthey have nerviness to take possible criticism to do some things which are ‘rebellion’in ordinary people's eyes ". There is the implication of the opportunityto change the world in these things.

In thechapter on "wealth", the author obviouslywants to encourage excellent nerds to start a business. Nerds are usually fullof the energy to change the world, but suffer from the lack of pink tea. It isdifficult for them to release energy. Wealth maybe is a good way to detonate anerd’s energy. But I personally think that part of the writing has too manysuccess science colors, I don't personally like success science.

Opinion said in thebook "One of the biggest remaining groups is computer programmers" isappropriates. The production cost is very low for programmers - acomputer : in the information time, computer has been essential; Developmenttools: open source software give us plenty of options, the price of buyingcommercial development tool it much cheaper than buying a machine; A cup ofcoffee and some snacks is just leisure when busy thinking. So low cost, simplyby knock on the keyboard code, you can create living programs, create greatvalue, this phenomenon is really amazing.
