Useful features aren't glitzy,

glitzy features aren't useful.

True hackers aren't flamers;

flamers aren't true hackers.

Programmers aren't language lawyers;

language lawyers aren't programmers.

Hackers aren't software hoarders:

the more they do for others,

the more they have for themselves;

the more they give to others,

the more they keep for themselves.

The way of Unix is sharp,

but doesn't injure;

the hacker's way is to serve

and not to strive.
