The oneness of the Old Hackers' power:

Design power was one, thus clear.
Coding power was one, thus calm.
Testing power was one, thus energized.
Refactoring power was one, thus fulfilled.
Contributor power was one, thus alive.
Leader power was one, thus world-dominating.

What made it so?

Without design, the clear would be afraid and split open.
Without coding, the calm would be afraid and shake to pieces.
Without testing, the energized would be afraid and wither away.
Without refactoring, the fulfilled would be afraid and be exhausted.
Without contributors, life would be afraid and perish.
Without leaders, trust and merit would be afraid and stumble.

For trust, humility is the root.
For merit, humility is the base class.

The Old Hackers called themselves
                                        nerds
                                        dweebs
                                        geeks
because humility is the root.

Having the most bells and whistles
  doesn't make a project the best.

Not "clink clink" like jewels,
  but "WHAM WHAM" like boulders.
