I miss building everything from scratch, in assembly, because I could do it better than the libraries that shipped with the system.

I can still do it better today, but the stack is so deep now, I just don’t have the time.

Would I go back if I could? Nah.

Hacking is a blast, but never forget it is to achieve a greater purpose. A greater purpose for our software’s users, for ourselves, and for for our subroutines.

Old hackers never die— we merely gosub without return.
