In this lively episode of Campus Conversations, host Laya Prada teams up with Lavanya and Sujith to explore the rebellious, creative, slightly chaotic world of the early hacker culture — inspired by Steven Levy's iconic book Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution.

From Wozniak's playful tech experiments to Stallman's loud open-source ideals, this episode explores how curiosity and a little chaos shaped modern computing — and how the same spirit lives in every B.Tech. student juggling crash loops, hackathons, and AI models that only work at 2 AM.

This episode is a reminder that innovation isn't born in perfect labs — it grows in hostel rooms, hackathons, lab benches, and canteens with terrible Wi-Fi. It's messy. It's tiring. It's exciting. And sometimes… it's hilarious.

Hack, fail, laugh, learn, create — and maybe get some sleep afterward.
Tune in and embrace the hacker spirit that's still alive in all of us.
