The emotional roller coaster I just went on of:
"Did I miss the release of Calculords 2?"
"No... I am not that out of it."

"Awww... Punctuation got me again."

The (minimum) reading list for that class is "Hacking" as well as "The Web Application Hackers Handbook".

Joel on Software is old, and not updated often, but still an unbelievable source of knowledge about programming and especially developer careers.
And of course shameless plug for my own blog, Hacking UI, which I do read it every day since I develop it. My partner and I write about front end development, Design and everything in between.

Yes... books and poems and epics and dramas are all technologies, too.
I should hope the HN community isn't fooled by the _New Yorker_ article's professional typecasting. After all, Paul Graham has an entire book called _Hackers and Painters_, and he argues: "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." (http://www.paulgraham.com/hp.html).
"Hacking" -- as both Paul Graham and much of my dissertation argues -- isn't a purely scientific discipline. It's also a humanist and aesthetic pursuit.
If you don't believe me, go pick up a collection of Emily Dickinson poems (you know... the things you probably haven't looked at since you were in 9th grade). You might be surprised to discover all of the conditional logic, the programatic loops, and the object oriented structures.
