Abstract

Hackers & Painters focuses on the benefits of web-based systems in contrast to the several drawbacks of desktop-centric applications. The author of this text perpetuates the stereotypical hacker-as-nerd. He points that hackers deserve astronomic amounts of money and anyone who doubts this or worries about unequal income distribution is a conformist and definitely a loser. He also reckons that statistical techniques are effective countermeasure against spam. He has even discussed two interesting issues of what it takes to be a successful IT entrepreneur, and whether programming is art or science.
