Re: Perhaps developers should work offline

"I’ve been at a conference where they held a ‘Hack the (Hello) World’ competition; to do exactly what you suggest."

So they managed to hack a computer that had no code in it but the equivalent of "PRINT 'HELLO, WORLD!'"? Changing the source code is one thing; hacking a fixed program with so little functionality is another.
