Re: Professional Scrpt Kiddies vs Real Talent

[trains <trains () doctorunix com>]

This thread seems to confuse "rock star" / "media whore" with hacker  
ninja.  In thirty years as a system programmer, I've contributed code  
to wu-imap, sendmail, kernel-doc, x11R3, horde, php, kerberos,  
MS-Fortran, snort, on and on.  Trust me, I know how to write code and  
I know how to break into stuff.  I also know that I am not alone.

I see evidence of many silent ninjas, and I enjoy their mocking  
comments about the "glam haxors" and "rock stars".

It gets old listening to the new-media marketing bobble-heads tell me  
that unless you have 5000 twitter followers you must not be able to  
understand buffer overflows.
