No other book I have read gives the genealogy of both hardware and software in their embryonic periods so well as this tome. Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution.

Among them are: John Draper (also known as Captain Crunch), infamous phone phreaker; Bill Gates, Harvard dropout and “cocky wizard” who wrote Altair BASIC; Richard Greenblatt, the “hacker's hacker”; Steve Jobs, the visionary; Stephen “Woz” Wozniak, "openhearted, technologically daring hardware hacker"; Marvin Minsky, “playful and brilliant" MIT professor who headed the MIT AI Lab; Richard Stallman, "The Last of the True Hackers"; … Dan Edwards, another programmer, added a sun and the effect of gravitational pull. Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2020.

There was also far too about Ken Williams (almost half the book) - who he made very dislikeable. Open System: no boundaries should exist between a hacker and information/equipment. Meanwhile Roberta devised a game of her own based on Adventure which they called Mystery House. They were only paid five hundred dollars for their feat, but the finished product that had come of the Hacker Ethic, was its own reward. Key figures of the club were Peter Samson, Alan Kotok, Jack Dennis, and Bob Saunders. Ken learned programming on his own while doing work for different companies on mainframes. At SAIL the atmosphere was more laid back. This resulted in some arguments with Greenblatt, who was not as fascinated with LIFE, and did not think that Gosper and others should be monopolizing the machine with this simulation. He formed People's Computer Company, a storefront in Menlo Park, California, to offer computer time and classes to ordinary people. It's been a while since I've read it, but flipping through now, it seems like Levy is much too focused on computer games.
Levy is a senior writer for Wired. Most did not have much of a social life outside of hacking, and some such as Greenblatt were notorious for their lack of personal hygiene. LISP Machine Incorporated, or LMI, was headed by Greenblatt, and Symbolics was headed by Russ Noftsker. In regards to question 1, I feel like what it eventually comes down to is just the moral and ethic codes that humans hold themselves to. They are essential to keeping classified information safe.

They had a shared sense of values, known as "the hacker ethic," that still thrives today. Mark Duchaineau was a hacker who came up with a protection scheme called "Spiradisk" [sic] for the Apple computer.
Frogger: John Harris decided to port the arcade classic to the Atari 800 computer for On-Line systems. While it may not be divulging how they have developed new or old products, I think it is appropriate that they have the information available to their customers and competitors. It was obvious that there was some truth to it, but at the same time it sounded very much like the the view from 1968.

When he first got into MIT he was intent on making the Dean's List, but by his sophomore year he flunked out, because he was spending too much time hacking relay circuits at the TMRC and programming for the PDP-1. Back when I bought my first computer I spent hundreds (thousands?) Greenblatt was unwilling to yield to business pressures and wanted to form a company that would maintain the Hacker Ethic. External links give you further details and some are entertaining. Eventually two programs were started to make computers usable by more than one person at a time, a concept that was called time-sharing.
