| 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 | |||||
