People often ask me "How did you learn how to hack?" The answer: by reading. This page is a collection of the blog posts and other articles that I have accumulated over the years of my journey. Enjoy!

This article discusses a paradox: the more esoteric a programming language is, the better its developers are. This is because people don't learn esoteric languages for their jobs; they decide to learn them because they like programming and aren't satisfied.

Using this knowledge, companies should adopt esoteric languages to attract top developers. Developers have a weird incentive here: learn languages that you don't merely learn on the job. Whether this is actually code advice or not, I'll leave up to you. In my mind, using an esoteric language really shrinks the pool of potentially good and bad developers.
