Yeah, but a hacker also doesn't waste his precious life time with subpar and awful technologies (unless he's forced/paid to do so).

That's why in my free time I rather fire up emacs and hack away in Lisp instead of building JavaScript webapps.




a hacker wastes her precious life-time on whatever she damn well likes.


Yeap, the only way of dealing with a subpar language full-time is doing something in a cool language on side.
