J. Random Hacker
NAME FOR AN ARBITRARY PROGRAMMER
J. Random Websurfer; J. Random; J. Random X
<jargon> /J rand'm hak'r/ MIT jargon for a mythical figure;
the archetypal hacker nerd.
This may originally have been inspired by "J. Fred Muggs", a
show-biz chimpanzee whose name was a household word back in
the early days of TMRC, and was probably influenced by
J. Presper Eckert (one of the co-inventors of the electronic
computer).
See random, Suzie COBOL.

NAME FOR AN ARBITRARY PROGRAMMER
J. Random Websurfer; J. Random; J. Random X
<jargon> /J rand'm/ (Generalised from J. Random Hacker)
Arbitrary; ordinary; any one; any old. "J. Random" is often
prefixed to a noun to make a name out of it. It means roughly
"some particular" or "any specific one". "Would you let
J. Random Loser marry your daughter?" The most common uses
are "J. Random Hacker", "J. Random Loser", and "J. Random
Nerd" ("Should J. Random Loser be allowed to gun down other
people?"), but it can be used simply as an elaborate version
of random in any sense.

Hacker ethic
The hacker ethic is a philosophy and set of moral values within hacker culture. Practitioners believe that sharing information and data with others is an ethical imperative. The hacker ethic is related to the concept of freedom of information, as well as the political theories of anti-authoritarianism, socialism, liberalism, anarchism, and libertarianism.
While some tenets of the hacker ethic were described in other texts like Computer Lib/Dream Machines (1974) by Ted Nelson, the term hacker ethic is generally attributed to journalist Steven Levy, who appears to have been the first to document both the philosophy and the founders of the philosophy in his 1984 book titled Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution.
