Paul Graham on the similarities between hackers (not crackers!) and painters. Very resonant. I need to be doing more "painting" myself...
Hacking and painting have a lot in common. In fact, of all the different types of people I've known, hackers and painters are among the most alike.What hackers and painters have in common is that they're both makers. Along with composers, architects, and writers, what hackers and painters are trying to do is make good things.
