Title: It's great to see that the web at large is mostly past that 1990s phase of being obsessed with green text on black backgrounds and lists of copypasted and sometimes just made up 'information' on 'hacking'.<p>I know you didn't start the movement to reclaim the word (that credit probably goes to ESR[1]), but I think between HN and your essays, you've done a huge amount to reinvigorate the hacker scene.<p>It's now acceptable to ask what someone's hacking on without having to worry about strange looks or tirades about script kiddies. This is really good.<p>So thanks.<p>[1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html
