I think this shows why you are a great hacker. You even moan about how it doesn't apply to you.

Bah. Now it's going to look as if I posted this just to get a stream of people saying that ;-)

I wasn't just thinking that I feel like that (although I do). I was more thinking that probably most of my friends feel the same way, and I'm pretty sure not all of them are Great Hackers. I fear Paul Graham might simply have missed the point, which is that most great hackers feel like that simply because they're people, and as far as I know most people feel like that...

But thanks, anyway :-)
