The midterm exam for webdevt….
Afterword
Finally, the book has to end in a way that hackers will never be forgotten to be admired. Of course, these artists are the ones who are really entraordinary people who have powers that have the potental to manipulate the world through all of their inventions and architectures. Making a difference in the world is extremely a difficulty thing to do. But what else have the hackers acheived is really amazing. Their journey has just began all of these are only the start for their long awaited battle. Knowing the responsibility that they need to do and all of the roles that they need to perform this real programmers as to be called by the majority, will have to go a long way still. There are more phases of their life to be given much attention to have it all back in their hands. I know that hackers of the universe will never die and fade away because that will continue through all of the next generations, as long as the campaign for the open sourcing is there hackers will never be gone, as for the hackers are there to exist then open source also will never come to an ending.
The Revenge of the Hackers
The time has come! Truly, hackers have gone through all the challenges that they are in need to encounter. Now is the time of their lives to be delighted and celebrate what have they done. The golden years of technology has been extended because of open sourcing. Historically speaking, all of the other people behind the project are really to be acknowledge and admire as up to this very day, for without them the term “quality” are not to be defined in the simplest way.
The artists and the authors of our technology are freaking good. They are all versatile and can adapt to all the hardships life has to give them. They are willing to embrace the advocacy of open sourcing in a full extent and full blast. Eventhough many of the public has to criticize them negatively, their pure hearts will never wore out. The determination has to tell all of the stories, myths and legends of them characterizing their values and ethics (one living proof is this book, The Cathedral and the Bazaar).

Good day to everyone 
The Magic Cauldron
This chapter of the book so far as I read through the pages are the longest as of now. Hope that while reading it I can keep up eagerness in me. Anyway, with the details of the discussion presented it mainly discusses the origin of the open source system. One of the statements that caught my attention is:
People have a strong tendency to assume that software has the value characteristics of a typical manufactured good. But both of these assumptions are demonstrably false.
Given the fact that open source software are free then it is for fact that they have impression of the low quality and other drawbacks. Well, honestly the statement had to deal with people that are narrow-minded. Evaluation are to come for each of the product and I also believe that judging with what you know about anything is far more different from judging when you have already an experience with it and have attempted to try. Linux serves to be the living testament that open source are still in the air aiming to fly high to compete with their own products versus with their competitors closed source products.
Open sourcing is one of the best things that have happened in the world of technology. Though for some reasons unknown we cannot eliminate the public’s reaction for this community is not always of the positive ones its still boomed and influenced many of the society especially nowadays. As for future has to come, hackers are to be more inspired to continue their campaign for the open source community. After all, I know that people in the right time will love it also in the end.
Hands up for all the hackers around the world 
Homesteading the Noosphere
A peculiar thought to think about:
An interesting contradiction between what open-source hackers say they believe and the way they actually behave—between the official ideology of the open-source culture and its actual practice.
Right? Open sourcing and the people behind them, which are know to be the hackers (formely called as the “real programmers”) of our time are in fact have contradictions at some point as well. Given that the culture of hacking are wide and complex, they tend to have a little bit of complications when implementing open sourcing. Still, hackers are still eager to do the things they love the most!
The ideology of the Internet open-source culture (what hackers say they believe) is a fairly complex topic in itself
Furthermore, the author have stated it directly that in fact the ideology itself is of wide scope to be discuss in general. With all of the things that world has to offer values are always there and will never be gone. In regards with the culture of the IT world: zeal, reputation and convictions are to be at at stake.
Other topics of the book would have to say about the IT ethics that covers the do’s and dont’s for the IT. Circumstances have t o deal with forking of a projects and all of the anomalies that a one hacker can do. On the other hand, the open sourcing community is way more lighter topic to be talked about because what concerns here are the minors ones:
For me, all of the facts that was mentioned above are all IMPORTANT because these things are the ones which matters most in the profession of the technology world.
The Cathedral and the Bazaar
This chapter is a very very very very long chapter. Very long indeed so I find it hard to summarize. Anyaw, in the book this was said:
“Good programmers know what to write. Great ones know what to rewrite (and reuse)”
Hence, the hackers. Good programmers always come up with the right code while the “great” ones (I assume that they are the hackers) know what to rewrite and reuse because that’s what they do. If I were to classify myself accordingly with those two, I would say that I’m good at rewriting and reusing codes but i’m not a good programmer at all. Open source in my point of view roots from the fact that when a programmer feels that he no longer needs or wants a certain program he created, he finds someone else who would be able to make use of it. Another statement from the said chapter which I liked is this:
“The next best thing to having good ideas is recognizing good ideas from your users. Sometimes the latter is better.”
I find this statement interesting because it shows openness. I agree that sometimes the best ideas don’t come from you instead it comes from other people. I believe that it’s just a matter of whether you’ll accept the other person’s ideas or not. The main idea is you just have to be open, listen to the ideas other people give you because it’s not always your idea that works best and when you recognize better ideas from other people, you have to learn to accept in such a way that you will credit the person who has given you that “best” idea.
Here’s a copy of the chapter.
