### hacker

To the popular press, "hacker" means someone who breaks into computers. Among programmers it means a good programmer. But the two meanings are connected. To programmers, "hacker" connotes mastery in the most literal sense: someone who can make a computer do what he wants—whether the computer wants to or not.

~ pg in the word "hacker"

### hacker ethic

The belief that information-sharing is a powerful positive good, and that it is an ethical duty of hackers to share their expertise by writing open-source code and facilitating access to information and to computing resources wherever possible.

~ esr in hacker ethic

### hacker school experience

I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..." Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.

~ mentor in hacker's manifesto

### manifesto

the revolution is comming and it looks like the biggest tech revolution ever. tech revolutions are run by hackers. if you want to take part in it and shape the future you should become a hacker or become a better hacker and improve your craft.

we are all behind. things change so fast that nobody knows how to hack anymore. models are so powerfull that we haven't even discovered 1% of their capabillites and usecases. in this era you must learn, update your knowlwadge and share your work all the time.

that's why we create hacklab. a place for hackers to learn the hottest ai tools and best practices, share their projects and knowladge and shape the ai revolution.
