Hackers and Architects

Hackers and Architects | Python Programming: "In an interesting entry, the question of whether hacker-type developers have a place in the modern-day IT field. That is, do hacker-type developers add any real business value in a business world? If not, who does in regards to producing software? Is the more standardized architect-type developer better suited for working on anything that isn’t a hobby? The argument for not being able to hire the hacker-type onto a formal IT development team is well-grounded in some respects. However, the hacker-type developer wasn’t just given that title for no reason. Any given hacker-type developer most likely earned the title through many years of trying things that were unheard of at the time. Believe it or not, organizations that produce anything but the most trivial software need the hacker-type developer as well as the architect-type developer."
