Hackers and Painters

Paul Graham's Hackers and Painters book cover

Hackers & Painters. Big Ideas from the Computer Age. By Paul Graham. May 2004. ISBN: 0-596-00662-4. 271 pages. $22.95 US.


“.../ if hacking works like painting and writing, is it as cool? After all, you only get one life. You might as well spend it working on something great. Unfortunately, the question is hard to answer. There is always a big time lag in prestige. It’s like light from a distant star. Painting has prestige now because of great work people did five hundred years ago.” - in Paul Graham, “ Hackers and Painters”
