alt Hacker NewsThis is really cool. Most people here are whining that you, a college student, aren't acting like an adult. I hope you can look past that; it's supposed to be hacker nature to do stupid stuff like this.
It bothers me that most comments here are high-and-mighty. Did you guys really do nothing you regret when you were younger?
> it's supposed to be hacker nature to do stupid stuff like this.
I've seen this (or similar) twice in the comments here now, and I'm just astounded by how bad this take is. It's hacker nature to explore. It's even hacker nature to try to break things to see if they can be broken. But it is not hacker nature to think it's cool to precipitate harm to others. That's just being an asshole.
