The Jargon File, Version 4.0.0, 24 Jul 1996 by Eric S. Raymond and Guy L. Steele
"The Jargon File, Version 4.0.0, 24 Jul 1996" by Eric S. Raymond and Guy L. Steele is a glossary compiled between 1975 and 1996. This legendary dictionary captures the slang, humor, and philosophy of early computer programmers from MIT, Stanford, and ARPANET communities. Born from 1950s hacker culture at the Tech Model Railroad Club, it evolved from a living document into a sacred text—chronicling the technical jargon and spirit of pioneering programmers
who shaped the digital age. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
