Seri I : Apa Hacker Itu?

Dalam Jargon File tercantum berbagai definisi untuk istilah ‘hacker’, hampir semuanya berkaitan dengan kemahiran teknis serta kegemaran menyelesaikan masalah dan mengatasi keterbatasan. Namun jika ingin menjadi seorang hacker, hanya ada dua definisi yang relevan.

Terdapat komunitas, budaya bersama, terdiri dari para programer mahir dan ahli jaringan, yang sejarahnya bermula dari dekade minikomputer pertama yang memiliki time-sharing dan zaman eksperimen awal ARPAnet. Dari anggota budaya inilah muncul istilah ‘hacker’. Hacker yang membangun internet. Hacker yang membuat sistem operasi Unix menjadi seperti sekarang. Hacker yang mengoperasikan Usenet. Hacker yang membuat World Wide Web berjalan. Jika Anda bagian dari budaya ini, jika Anda telah menyumbangkan sesuatu untuk budaya ini, dan rekan lain di dalamnya mengenali Anda sebagai seorang hacker, maka seorang hackerlah Anda.

Cara pikir hacker tidak terbatas pada budaya hacker software. Ada orang yang menerapkan sikap hacker pada banyak bidang lain, elektronik atau musik — bahkan, cara pikir hacker ada di tingkat tertinggi setiap bidang ilmu dan seni. Hacker software mengakui semangat serupa ini dan bisa menyebut orang-orang tersebut hacker pula — dan sebagian berpendapat bahwa sifat seorang hacker tidak bergantung pada wadah tempatnya bekerja. Tapi, untuk selanjutnya, kita akan memusatkan perhatian pada software hacker, keahlian dan sikap mereka, serta tradisi budaya bersama yang melahirkan istilah ‘hacker’.

Terdapat pula kelompok lain yang menyebut-nyebut diri hacker, padahal bukan. Mereka-mereka ini (terutama para pria dewasa) yang mendapat kepuasan lewat membobol komputer dan mengakali telepon (phreaking). Hacker sejati menyebut orang-orang ini ‘cracker’ dan tidak suka bergaul dengan mereka. Hacker sejati memandang cracker sebagai orang malas, tidak bertanggung jawab, dan tidak terlalu cerdas. Hacker sejati tidak setuju jika dikatakan bahwa dengan menerobos keamanan seseorang telah menjadi hacker, sama seperti jika dikatakan bahwa mengontakkan mobil membuat seseorang langsung menjadi ahli mesin. Sayangnya, wartawan dan penulis telah salah kaprah dan menggunakan kata ‘hacker’ untuk melukiskan cracker; bagi hacker ini merupakan pangkal jengkel tanpa ujung.

Perbedaan mendasar antara hacker dan cracker: hacker membangun, cracker membongkar.

Jika Anda ingin menjadi hacker, lanjutkan membaca. Jika ingin menjadi cracker, kunjungi newsgroup alt.2600 dan bersiaplah menghabiskan lima sampai sepuluh tahun di balik jeruji setelah mengetahui bahwa Anda ternyata tidak sepandai yang Anda kira. Hanya itu yang perlu dikatakan tentang cracker.

38 Ways to Speed Up Your Learning Curve

38 Ways to Speed Up Your Learning Curve
1. Develop an attitude of Life Long Learning.
2. Whatever industry you work in, whatever area of expertise you seek to master, read every single book ever written about it. I remember early in my career, one of my mentors said, “You don’t have the ‘right to write’ a book on a certain topic unless you’ve read every other book on that topic.” Well, OK then.
3. So, read two of those books every week. You should be done in about a year.
4. Buy lunches for Big Shots in your industry. Ask them great questions. Take even greater notes. Then compile all of your notes into one main document that you update and review weekly.
5. Buy lunches for Non-Big Shots in your industry, then repeat everything I just said #4.
6. Go to every personal development/motivational seminar that comes through town.
7. The best swimmers are always in the pool. Figure out where you pool is, then go swimming every single day.
8. PRACTICE. Larry Bird shot 100 free throws a day. What are you going to do?
9. Write. Write. Write. Writing is the basis of all wealth. Write down everything you learn or experience. Call it a journal, a blog, a diary, whatever. Write everything down. If you don’t write it down, it never happened. (Thanks for that one, Greg Peters.)
10. Regularly read books about creativity, creative thinking, creative people, creative ideas, etc.
11. Screw up. A lot.
12. Get more than one mentor. Hell, get ten of ‘em!
13. Did I say, “write” already? I think so. But in the words of Mr. Kinney, my freshman history teacher, “You don’t know it unless you can write it.”
14. Ask people, “What mistakes did you make when you were starting out?”
15. Learn something new each day. Yes, an old cliché. But here’s the catch: start a Learnal. Not a Journal. A Learnal. A daily journal of things you learned. Try that for a month and you’ll be amazed at how much smarter you’ve become!
16. Go to Borders once a month. Grab about fifty or so books that look interesting. Sit down with a big fat legal pad. Read through the books and take notes for a few hours. (You should probably buy a hot chocolate or something, so you don’t feel like you’re stealing.)
17. Two words: MASTERMIND-GROUP.
18. Three words: MASTER-MIND-GROUP!!!
19. Find out where you suck. More on how to do that here.
20. Learn how to think. Sure, it sounds silly. I know you already know how to think! But there are dozens, if not hundreds of resources that will TRAIN YOUR MIND, i.e., when you learn to think laterally, or in a non-linear fashion. Do this stuff and you will learn a LOT more. About yourself. About business. About life.
21. Watch the Apprentice. God I love that show.
22. Just start doing it. (Whatever “it” is) Playing guitar. Designing websites. Writing books. Just get crackin’. Who cares if you suck? START NOW. Starting = learning.
23. Google. It’s the greatest noun (and verb) in the world. Google everything. Your own name. Your boss. Your company. Your ex-girlfriends. Your industry. Your competition. Your customers. Google EVERYTHING. Frequently.
24. Carefully watch the people who are AMAZING at doing what you ultimately want to do.
25. Ask dumb questions.
26. Speaking of dumb, don’t hesitate to read any of the “For Dummies” books. Trust me, reading those books won’t make you a dummy, it’ll make you a smarty.
27. Play with people who are better than you. More on that here.
28. Learning comes from discomfort. So, celebrate the offbeat. Cherish uncertain ground. Travel without plans. Surrender your agendas.
29. How many times did you exercise your body last week? OK. Cool. Now: How many times did you exercise your MIND last week? Thought so. Don’t forget to work out your brain.
30. Say yes more.
31. Say no more.
32. Three words: small victories first. They build momentum. They validate self-assurance. They pave the way for later success. They enable you to take bolder action. They stretch your boundaries one mile at a time. Most importantly, they teach you all kinds of cool stuff.
33. Get experience in any way you can. Even if you have to do it for free. Even if you have to give a free speech for ten old dudes at a bible study at 7:00 AM in the middle of friggin nowhere at a greasy Wentzville diner called Country Fixins. (Hypothetically.)
34. Get a coach. An advisor. Someone that you PAY who will keep you accountable. Paying is important because: no investment = no committment.
35. Make it your goal to accumulate WISDOM, not knowledge.
36. Talk to strangers. The greatest learning resource in the world (even greater than The Google) is the person sitting next to you. 37. Two words: Wiki-pedia. (Oh wait, that’s one word. My bad.)
38. Whatever you’ve already learned, impart that priceless wisdom onto others. Aside from writing, teaching is the next best way to learn.
