Please forgive me; I do not think that hacker culture is a bad thing. I think that hackers are, for the most part, wonderful people. I think that the aspects of hacker culture you mentioned are good, positive, and praiseworthy things. I just believe that SOME ASPECTS of hacker culture are problematic. I didn't mean to dismiss the entirety of it, or disparage hackers in general, and I'm sorry it came out that way. I just felt like this might be a good opportunity to ask people to try to, for lack of a better phrase, be excellent to each other.
We should be like this, all the time: "Hacker culture positively celebrates failure... Its overriding ethos is working together and helping each other out..."
