These are the sorts of people you meet on irc all the time. People who can tell you your program's error just from reading the abstract C error message - people who brag of taking advantage of some unfortunate newb's un-updated telnet with some newbie exploit they found on www.securityfocus.com (lol), people who write in perl and code drivers in C for a living.

I have a passion for computers, but I don't think I'd be very happy with a career in it. Computers is something that I do when I feel like it, and I don't think I'd enjoy having to do it eight hours a day everyday.
