wannabee


wannabee

/won'*-bee/ (Or, more plausibly, spelled "wannabe") [Madonnafans who dress, talk, and act like their idol; probablyoriginally from biker slang] A would-be hacker. Theconnotations of this term differ sharply depending on the ageand exposure of the subject. Used of a person who is in ormight be entering larval stage, it is semi-approving; suchwannabees can be annoying but most hackers remember that they,too, were once such creatures. When used of any professionalprogrammer, CS academic, writer, or suit, it is derogatory,implying that said person is trying to cuddle up to the hackermystique but doesn't, fundamentally, have a prayer ofunderstanding what it is all about. Overuse of hacker termsis often an indication of the wannabee nature. Comparenewbie.

Historical note: The wannabee phenomenon has a slightlydifferent flavour now (1993) than it did ten or fifteen yearsago. When the people who are now hackerdom's tribal elderswere in larval stage, the process of becoming a hacker waslargely unconscious and unaffected by models known in popularculture - communities formed spontaneously around people who,*as individuals*, felt irresistibly drawn to do hackerlythings, and what wannabees experienced was a fairly pure,skill-focussed desire to become similarly wizardly. Thosedays of innocence are gone forever; society's adaptation tothe advent of the microcomputer after 1980 included theelevation of the hacker as a new kind of folk hero, and theresult is that some people semi-consciously set out to *behackers* and borrow hackish prestige by fitting the popularimage of hackers. Fortunately, to do this really well, onehas to actually become a wizard. Nevertheless, old-timehackers tend to share a poorly articulated disquiet about thechange; among other things, it gives them mixed feelings aboutthe effects of public compendia of lore like this one.
