He wears a T-shirt bearing a quote by Linus Torvalds.
“World Domination,” the T-shirt says. “Fast.” As Raymond greets his followers, he is ecstatic. They are his intellectual, social and cosmic lifeline, his fellow “hackers,” a term that demands some clarification. Contrary to popular terminology, a “hacker” does not commit digital mischief, explains Raymond, who edited the 1991 book “The New Haсker’s Dictionary.” “Those are ‘crackers.’ Hackers buіld thіngѕ, crackers break them.” Hackers are the most ardent of computer users, not content to master certain crafts but striving for full and near-spiritual immersion.
The history of the open-source movement is linked to entrenched hacker ethics. In the first days of the Internet, the 1960s, a spirit of cooperation pervaded computing. Consistent with Western scientific traditions — and the academic and research settings where the Internet began — the earliest hackers were encouraged to build on the creations of their peers. But as computing has grown into a multitrillion-dollar industry, the ethic has been supplanted by proprietary rules and cutthroat competition.
To many hackers, Microsoft is the embodiment of all that has soured in the computing realm — both technically and socially. After his UT speech, Raymond invokes the military theorist Sun Tzu to describe his strategy against Microsoft. “Sսpreme excellence in warfare is not winning battles.
