“计算机世界就像一个智力的狂野西部，在那里你可以用你的想法射杀任何你想要的人，如果你愿意冒后果的风险。《黑客与画家：计算机时代的大创意》（Hackers & Painters：Big Ideas from the Computer Age）作者：保罗·格雷厄姆（Paul Graham）我们生活在计算机时代，这个世界越来越多地由计算机程序员和软件设计师设计和设计，由自称黑客的人设计和设计。这些人是谁，他们的动机是什么，你为什么要关心？想想这些事实：我们周围的一切都在变成计算机。你的打字机不见了，取而代之的是一台电脑。你的手机变成了电脑。你的相机也是。很快你的电视就会。你的汽车不仅是在计算机上设计的，而且比1970年一个房间大小的大型机有更多的处理能力。信件，报纸，甚至你当地的商店都被互联网所取代。黑客和画家：保罗·格雷厄姆的《计算机时代的伟大思想》解释了这个世界以及占据这个世界的人们的动机。格雷厄姆以清晰、深思熟虑的散文，借鉴了富有启发性的历史例子，带领读者坚定地探索他所谓的“知识界的狂野西部”。本书中讨论的思想将对我们如何思考、如何工作、如何开发技术以及如何生活产生强大而持久的影响。主题包括美在软件设计中的重要性、如何创造财富、异端和言论自由、编程语言复兴、开源运动、数字设计、互联网初创公司等。
"The computer world is like an intellectual Wild West, in which you can shoot anyone you wish with your ideas, if you're willing to risk the consequences. " --from Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age, by Paul Graham We are living in the computer age, in a world increasingly designed and engineered by computer programmers and software designers, by people who call themselves hackers. Who are these people, what motivates them, and why should you care? Consider these facts: Everything around us is turning into computers. Your typewriter is gone, replaced by a computer. Your phone has turned into a computer. So has your camera. Soon your TV will. Your car was not only designed on computers, but has more processing power in it than a room-sized mainframe did in 1970. Letters, encyclopedias, newspapers, and even your local store are being replaced by the Internet. Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age, by Paul Graham, explains this world and the motivations of the people who occupy it. In clear, thoughtful prose that draws on illuminating historical examples, Graham takes readers on an unflinching exploration into what he calls "an intellectual Wild West." The ideas discussed in this book will have a powerful and lasting impact on how we think, how we work, how we develop technology, and how we live. Topics include the importance of beauty in software design, how to make wealth, heresy and free speech, the programming language renaissance, the open-source movement, digital design, internet startups, and more.
