People can dismiss this saying he was a teenager, and just randomly chatting to a friend privately.

But I've been developing programs since I was 15, and created my first startup (hardware) at 18 with an engineer 10-years older than me.

Never once did I ever refer to any of our customers or clients as "dumb fucks". Why? What did they do to Zuck?

Although, I did refer to AOL executives, FBI agents, Secret Service agents, federal prosecutors and lame wannabe hackers as dumb fucks. Both then and now. And I work with the federal government, with an agency that's often unfairly demonized by a variety of people.

Which makes me think of a new phrase: dumb zucks.

Quasi wannabe devs who build products and services not to advance the hacker ethos or crypto-anarchy but to get rich being essentially technical marketing partners for the FBI and corporate America.

EDIT- Facebook's address is 1 Hacker Way. Zuck is not a hacker. He is the opposite of one.
