great hackers

it's a great read for everyone who is trying to understand greatness. here's a favorite part of mine:
It's hard to say exactly what constitutes research in the computer world, but as a first approximation, it's software that doesn't have users.

I don't think it's publication that makes the best hackers want to work in research departments. I think it's mainly not having to have a three hour meeting with a product manager about problems integrating the Korean version of Word 13.27 with the talking paperclip.
