💬 Eric Hughes: "Code Is Not Enough"

On March 14, 1996, the author of the "Cypherpunk Manifesto" and the famous phrase "cypherpunks write code," Eric Hughes, comes to the conviction and shares his own opinion that code alone is not enough: "Perhaps the single most important lesson I've learned from cypherpunks is that code alone doesn't cut it. Not code alone, not code widely distributed, not even code widely used. Some measure of toleration in society for activities conducted in private is necessary for long term success. Not convenient, not easier, but necessary."
