How to Become a Hacker

Reading your blog post brought back memories. The first Hacker News article that got me to make an account was How To Become A Hacker[1]. That led me down a rabbit hole as a high schooler that got me into software and later hardware. There's definitely a direct line from me reading that article to me becoming a hardware engineer.

I hope your article helps create the same effect on an unknowing high schooler. Thanks for putting it out there!

Thanks! There's a pretty direct line for me too. I'd be happy if my post helps others in a similar position.

Very similar for me - there is also a direct line from me reading that article to me being a software engineer today.
