Hacker Typer
You ever wonder how hackers in the movies type code so fast?
Okay, maybe it’s just me, but when I see programmers cranking out code on a TV series or a movie, I always wonder how they’re typing so much so fast. And, I’ll be honest, I wonder how accurate their code really is. So, I’m sure most people don’t really care about all that, but just assume all computer people bang away on the keyboard to churn out code. Hey, they probably don’t even notice what keys we hit at all!
Well, I’ve finally found out how Hollywood simulates what they think coding is like! It’s a site called Hacker Typer!
You go, open up the application, which looks like an old-school terminal, and just start banging on the keyboard. It literally does not matter what keys you hit! And, the app does all the work, producing line after line of what looks like decent, usable code. I actually have no idea if that code will do anything or not, but it looks good, and, in Hollywood, that’s all that matters.
So, what the heck, it’s Friday. Go hit that site and pretend to be a hacker!
