The Jargon File, Version 4.2.2, 20 Aug 2000

The hacker community's own glossary of slang and lore. A glossary of hacker slang compiled since the 1970s at Stanford and MIT and later maintained by Eric S. Raymond. It's a fascinating record of early computing culture, but it isn't a literary classic. IMPLEMENTATION NOTE FIX→ author “Unknownˮ → “Eric S. Raymond (ed.)ˮ; consider removing from the classics library
