Last week I looked at *Programming is Forgetting: Toward a New Hacker Ethic* by |
|
|
|
Allison Parrish for the second time. This was an amazing talk given by Allison Parrish |
|
|
|
at the Open Hardware Summit in 2016. The first time I was introduced to this talk a year ago |
|
|
|
my friend was trying to introduce me to the nuanced differences between |
|
|
|
"new" and "old" FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) cultures. Every time that I |
|
|
|
looked at this piece I get excited because it made me ponder what our community |
|
|
|
*should* be, and what it *could* be. I am very reminiscent about |
|
|
|
all the 80's hacker lingo and literature like the ["Hackers Manifesto"](http://phrack.org/issues/7/3.html) that |
|
|
|
inspired me when I was in middle school. |

In Parrish's talk she examined the points that Levy make in his book |
|
|
|
*Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution*. This talk picked out how aspects |
|
|
|
of Levy's hacker ethos are problematic and how we can work to change this Hacker |
|
|
|
Ethic to be more supporting of communities. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, before we dive into the breakdown of Levy's and Parrish's arguments, |
|
|
|
it is important to have a common understanding of these things: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- what hacker means |
|
|
|
- the nature of knowledge and knowing |
|
|
|
- our assumptions about society |
