HACKER LEARNS FROM WORDS

Oleh: Nofia Fitri

Belajar dari kata-kata untuk menjadi hacker sejati….

Menjadi hacker sejati tidak hanya dibutuhkan sebatas pengetahuan dan pengalaman diwilayah teknis. Selain kemauan dan kerjakeras seorang hacker juga harus memiliki idealisme dan ‘kebijaksanaan/bijak (wisdom).’

Dalam novel populer Wizardry Compiled tentang Hacker’s Wisdom (Kebijaksanaan Hacker) yang ditulis Rick Cook sang hacker-jurnalis dimana ia percaya bahwa hacking adalah ilmu sihir “magic is real, unless declared integer.” (Inget kan kalau Mitnick pun sering menyebut hal yang sama).

Berikut kutipan-kutipan keren dari novel tsb yang mungkin menarik dan berguna untuk ngebangun ‘jiwa hacker’ kalian:

Catatan: Dalam novel tersebut penulis lebih menyebut hacker sebagai programmer.

– Programmer’s Axioms

• “You can always tell a good idea by the enemies it makes.”

• “Everything always takes twice as long and costs four times as much as you planned.

• “It’s never the technical stuff that gets you in trouble. It’s the personalities and the politics.”

– Programmer’s sayings

• “Those who can’t do, teach.”

• “Living with a programmer is easy. All you need is the patience of a saint.”

• “Applications programming is a race between software engineers, who strive to produce idiot-proof programs, and the Universe which strives to produce bigger idiots.”

• “So far, the Universe is winning.”

• “The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with an idea.”

• “Whenever you use a jump, be sure of your destination address.”

• “Always secure your files. You never know who’s lurking about.”

• “Never argue with a redhaired witch. It wastes your breath and only delays the inevitable.”
