Might explain the reservations of some.http://opentranscripts.org/transcript/programming-forgetting-new-hacker-ethic/ …
Yes, I suspect that it reflects in no small part a difference not between the "correct" way of seeing the world, and the "incorrect way" of hackers, but between different modes of regulating social reality in communities of normies and aspies.
