The New Hacker's Dictionary
1. evil As used by hackers, implies that some system, program, person, or
institution is sufficiently maldesigned as to be not worth the bother of
dealing with. Unlike the adjectives in the
cretinous/losing/brain-damaged
series, evil does not imply
incompetence or bad design, but rather a set of goals or design criteria
fatally incompatible with the speaker's. This usage is more an esthetic
and engineering judgment than a moral one in the mainstream sense.
“We thought about adding a Blue Glue interface
but decided it was too evil to deal with.”
“TECO is neat, but it can be pretty evil if
you're prone to typos.” Often pronounced with the first syllable
lengthened, as /eeee'vil/.
Compareevil and rude.
