Is it true that

Real programmers "see in code"?

I am a hacker, and you are afraid.

You must think hackers are evil demons who work in shadowy rooms. That they want to steal your money, kill your dog, and deflower your daughter. This is what CNN and John Markoff and every other place you turn for news tells you. Only it's not news anymore. It's a pretty blonde with a fake tan spoon-feeding opinions to you while your mouth smiles and your brain decays. What are Hackers? Hackers are your inventors, your creators, and your dreamers. Hackers are the people who are building your better tomorrow, and you hate them for it. You slap laws on them for it. You drag their name in the mud for it. You pass knee-jerk legislation making innovation a crime. Because we scare you. Because Technology scares you. Because you don't understand it. Because we do. Because some kid knows more about how to configure your network then your admins do. Because its easier to blame us than shame yourselves. Your very ignorance and your desire to stay blissfully ignorant causes half the problems. You let Windows store your passwords and banking information and you have no idea how they do it or how they protect it. And when a thief, not a hacker, but a thief steals that information, you blame anyone who likes to tinker with technology. Your mind is so trained by the media; you don't even stop to think to blame the thief who stole it, or to blame Microsoft for not properly protecting your information. Instead you want our heads on a pike in your hall.

I am a hacker, and you are afraid, and that makes you more dangerous than I ever could be.

Take my test to figure it out ;)

Elitist bullshit.

Completely true.

Wtf do you mean see in code? No it's not true. That's... hacker folklore or something.
>>5
I don't think so, Tim. Half your software, if not all is written by hackers.

some faggot named acidus from alt.2600.

Actually, I do want to deflower his daughter.

Thinking in code?

You know how fucking cumbersome and stupid that would be.

Thinking by using levels of abstraction, classifications, relationships, and operations etc. maybe.

>>9
You have to read your SICP to see that is seeing in code!

>>10
gtfo you faggot. seriously. You're everything that resembles fail in programming.

>>2
Oh cute, another little "haxxor manifesto"

>>11
Im everything that resembles fail?

You don't think in code.  Do you think in english?

It is the concepts that you think with that you translate into code.  No human thinks "in code".  You must look at the meaning behind my words.  The "programmer's perspective" is based on "how things work" fundamentally. 

When you put together any system the aspects of putting together a computer program are present.  You create levels of abstraction, black boxes, delegation, and elements that are reusable but can be specialized.

The best programs feature dynamic properties that can respond to demand without breaking.

Thinking like a "good programmer" is no different than thinking like a good business man or good principal of a school.  The lower level thinking involved in computer programming is not the essence or "amazing part" of programming.  High level abstraction is the true goal of any system.

That's true. I'm sick of programmers thinking they're something special or amazing just because they can think abstractly about things.

Dijkstra wouldn't have liked this.

With programming you are dealing with a complexity that you create yourself, you cannot blame nature like the scientist when things go wrong, only yourself.

you can blame mathematicians<sup>1

failed at funny.

No, real programmers "code in C".

>>21
wrong.

>>20
Just like xkcd rofl xD

>>18
You can also blame other programmers and the microelectronics engineers who have made the software and hardware you are programming.

>>1
No, but once you've been programming in a particular language for a while, you'll start to unconsciously notice syntax errors or bad code patterns.
